U guys want government to protect you but who protects you from the protector?
TraceOneInfinite:
I find it ironic that Americans call on government to provide security and to protect them, but they never ask themselves who will protect them from the protector?
What happens when the government you sought to provide your security then threatens your security?
What happens when the government you sought to protect you from crime becomes the criminal and steals from you?
All these things are happening right now as we speak. The government steals nearly half our income through taxes.
And the government threatens our security with false flag operations (gulf of tonkin to provoke Vietnam, prior knowledge of pearl harbor, controlled demolition of twin towers and biulding seven no audio footage of pentagon plane crash), illegal search and siezure invasions of privacy and property (even Obama supports unconstitutional wire tapping), telling you where you can send your kids to school (laws that force kids to attend dangerous and failing schools till age 16), violence against it's own citizens (gassing of 80 Branch Davidians in the Waco incident) whether u can have abortion or not, who you can get married too (in the case of gays, polygamy, age restrictions (see R. Kelly), etc.)) who you can sexual relations with (even Clinton got impeached and faced Federal charges for a blow job).... and on and on.
Government by nature is a coersive institution of force. People need to stop looking to government to solve the World's problems. They will only use the power you give them to reward their political friends and supporters/lobbyists and punish their enemies.

If you're in America in any state you pay a relatively small amount of taxes.
You might not agree with how the gov't spends it, but that's how it is. If I were in power I would cut on a lot of spendings too... but if it wasn't for taxes, you wouldn't have an infra structure, you wouldn't have police, etc.

I don't fear the government. That's not the point of this thread to make you fear the government.
The government is very big, slow, clumsy, and inefficient. Unless you openly crusade against them you are not likely to be harmed physically. It's only in the movies where a situation like 1984 could exist where television camera's followed our every move with precise accuracy. In real life the camera's would be outdated and wouldn't work right. All the government programs fail to meet their objectives, from healthcare to the war on drugs, to no child left behind, and so on.
So from my perspective I just wish they do away with all the taxes and liscencing and everything else that hobbles our economy and jepordizes our individual freedom. That has nothing to do with fear.
The government breaks your legs and then offers you a wheelchair.

Income taxes are around 40%, and you call that low?
And government has nothing to do with infrastructure and police protection and security.
Why the fuck does Micheal Jackson hire the Nation Of Islam to provide him security? I thought according to you the police handle that since micheal Jackson pays taxes, right?
Why the fuck do we have Department of homeland Security? I thought our trillion dollar defense budget was enough?
Why lock the doors to your house, don't your taxes pay for police protection?
The point is that the state can't gaurantee your secutiry, they can't gaurantee shit. Everyone is responsible for their own security. Micheal Jackson hired private security cause he knew government security doesn't work.
Same thing with infrastructure. The reason The United Arab Emirates infrastructure skyrocketed in a matter of a few decades wasn't because the government, but rather the government opened its doors to foreign and domestic investors and businesses to come and establish business TAX FREE. And they came.
America was biult mostly during the first half of the 20th and the 19th century when income tax was less than 5% or less (or nothing at all) compared to the 40% it is now.
If their is potential profits then companies will biuld infrastructure. The government doesn't biuld like you think. They take credit for successes and blame big business for failures.
