RE: The Territorial Monopolist: A Necessary Evil?

in #politics8 years ago

Not only just tax revenue, but something far more insidious: the ability to "buy" things at no cost to themselves simply by creating monetized debt from nothing. They hit the economy and going. First through inflation of fiat currency with which they bid scarce, non-monetary resources away from others; then through the theft of taxation. "The state" is doubly deleterious.

Indeed. I think of the state as a giant, organized criminal extortion (taxation)and counterfeiting (central bank) racket, supported by mass brainwashing (public schools).
