Obama's Marxist politics stink so badly...

Yeah yeah. I'm trained in crick-crick-boom! I win.

...or so you say

Sounds like capitalism is Marxism, then.

Nope, capitalism operates by voluntary action.

[Jason]

Taxes are involuntary.

Seth and Sandi in a ring, with a knife each and tied together at the other wrist.

Odds?

oh come on now. There are others I'd much rather be in a ring with.

My money is on Sandi - Seth would be too busy trying to find a gun.

guns are for cowards.

Guns are for smart people, and there is no such thing as a "fair fight." The only good fight is the one you win.

Or he says he does, anyway.

Well, at least we agree on something. Don't believe a fucking word anyone says on the net, on forums especially. I wouldn't believe a word you type about yourself either. REV, I do train in Kali, but I wouldn't say I "know" it. Something to study for a lifetime.

Nice, but my mantra is "if you're closer than 600 meters, you're too damned close and it's time to engage." Kali that.

Taxes are involuntary.

Taxes are not a function of capitalism, so your statement is non sequitur.

But, yes, a good many taxes are indeed forcible involuntary transfers of wealth from one individual to another for the purposes of meeting some social or economic need of the recipient, which is why they are Marxist in origin and intent, and hideously evil in effect and therefore should be repealed immediately.

Taxes paid by an individual as his fair share for the use of public amenities or services on the other hand are not "involuntary" so long as the individual is permitted to op out of the taxes by not making use of the public amenities or services.

Involuntary taxation, or those taxes levied to pay for the basic functions of government such as the military from which "use and enjoyment" the individual cannot opt out of by virtue of simply being a resident in the country are not direct involuntary transfers of wealth from one individual to another to meet some social or economic need of the recipient facilitated by government force.

[Jason]

I suppose this sums up your point of view.

Let me entertain a little tangential diversion for a moment ...

Just out of curiosity, I decided to conduct a little experiment. I chose five other posters at random (I won't name them here), and decided to test what percentage of their posts contain certain words. The following table is informative (screen shot taken from my Excel spreadsheet):

Ratz Word Frequencies LOL.jpg

Seth is the only person I know whose posts contain "Marxism" more often than "beer", "cheese" or "bacon" on this forum. Most other people have bugger all in the way of posts mentioning Marxism, and even those who contribute regularly to the current affairs threads still manage to mention beer, cheese and bacon more often. The above data is truly frightening to behold, and speaks of a pathological obsession on Seth's part. It's almost as if some wicked witch somewhere cast a spell on him, and the only way he can prevent the spell from causing his dick to drop off, is to post vast reams of strawman effluent on the forum about "Marxism". In my own case, my posts contain more instances of the words "taxonomy", "Pre-Raphaelite", "Neoclassical", "Tepidarium" and "Delphic Oracle" than they contain instances of the dreaded m-word, and in some cases probably contain more mentions of insect taxa than they do thereof, though this latest post will probably bugger those statistics up somewhat in order to present this analysis. Prior to this post, I had just two posts mentioning the dreaded "m" word, and frankly, I have better things to do with my time than entertain sad fantasies about anachronistic political systems, but having run the numbers, I'm now convinced that Seth can't get an erection unless he hurls invective at synthetic "Marxists" at least once per day.

It's just so fucking sad.

Where was the "Posts containing Gin" category?

I think it would end up as naked Greco-Roman wrestling which would slowly switch from grunting violence to become unexpectedly tender...

Don't think anyone said anything about a fair fight.

Laughable. Like I said...scared people.

that easily amused? Doesn't take much does it?

I'm hearing heavy breathing. Somebody's excited at the thought of a little boy-on-boy wrestling.

JimC was amused, but he didn't write those bon mots.

That would be Clinton H...

[sandinista]

exactly, easily amused aren't you.
