The Right Attitude for Entrepreneurship
What’s the right attitude for Entrepreneurship? This serial entrepreneur might be your angel in disguise! …
If the government didn’t have to borrow it’s own money, then there would be
no need for income tax. When the Bank of England and Federal Reserve was
founded. The laws were amended to allow for income tax. If the government
didn’t have to borrow it’s own money, then there would be no need for
income tax. The only problem is 99% of people believe that taxes are used
to fund services, but the reality is, that it’s used to repay the money
changers. Who created that out of money as debt bearing interest.
i asked someone why he paid his taxes if he didn’t like what they did with
it. His answer was; “they have the police and jails working on their side.”
What happens when cops wake up and realize they are stupid pones and
henchmen to this evil? They cannot arrest everyone if everyone refuses to
pay.
When a government says it owns the land ask them for a bill of sale which
bears the creators signature.
How are you so DAMN RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING? I LOVE YOU STEFAN MOLYNEUX!!!!
KEEP SPITTING THE TRUTH!
great video!
Hope you’re at Porcfest Stefan!.. Man, you’re pissed off today.
Many cheers!
Health (sick) care system.
curing nothing, plenty of surgeries unnecessary ..
only fools could believe in such a sick joke.
Such a small fraction of that system actually helps
anybody
There are actual countries that have pretty well working tax health care.
And free education, etc. But the tax rate is high. Ultimate solution would
be to have societies that have no money nor debt inside. So those who want
societies can have them, the rest can live in money world. Real problem is
that all people are tried to mold into one kind of system, but it will
never work. So why not create different societies that work differently?
If there’s services I’m receiving from the government it would be great if
they made it more obvious, because it feels a lot like the services I am
getting from my unicorn wrangler.
Go Steph!

Income taxes are robbery. So are tariffs, excise taxes, and property taxes
on legitimate property produced by human labor.
Land Value Taxes (on the underlying value of the land itself, separate from
any improvements built on it) are very different.
The homesteading principle does not actually justify the ownership of land,
i.e., of natural resources which no human produced. Monopoly control over a
piece of land may be justified as necessary to protect the valid property
on it, but even then only under the conditions of the Lockean Proviso (when
there is enough land of equal quality remaining for anyone else to
homestead too). When the Proviso is violated (as it usually is, at least in
densely populated areas), then landownership does non-negligible harm to
others and can be considered aggression. The proviso does not only apply at
the point when the land is claimed either, but so long as the land is held
out of the commons. Land ownership is a continuing act of aggression, every
time that force (or the treat of possible force) is used against a
(would-be) trespasser or squatter.
Private possession of land is very useful, probably essential to the
development of an advanced society, but that does not by itself make it
morally justified. (It certainly does not justify allodial ownership of
land, which is something far different than mere possession.) It permits
the creation of far more wealth, but can make life worse for the many if
that wealth remains in the hands of the few.
The proper way to maintain private possession of land is for the landholder
to provide compensation to all those who are denied an equal privilege
(rather than threatening force against them, either personally or through
agents such as the State). This could be done through private gifts and
charity, at least in a very small community, but in a large sophisticated
society it is far more efficient to rely on an organization such as a
government to collect and redistribute rent.
The government merely collecting a land value tax is equivalent to the
government acting as a landlord. It is morally neither better nor worse
than the actions of a private landlord. The only difference may be found in
economies of scale, as governments usually have jurisdiction over larger
areas and the largest landlords are often called monarchs. There may be
greater freedom to move between very small States than between large enough
private estates.
(Note: In economic terms, a landlord is defined as the role of a person or
entity that derives profits solely by controlling access to the scarce
natural resource of land. This is separate from the role of the tenant who
pays to use the land or the capitalist who controls access to the products
of labor located on the land, even if all the roles are played by a single
person. If the land was homesteaded, then that means there must be
improvements on the land and the same person who acts in the anti-social
role of a landlord is also acting in the pro-social role of a capitalist.
The state typically acts only in the anti-social landlord role, and so is
worse than what is usually called a landlord in the vernacular sense. )
For the LVT to be justified, it must actually be used to provide for the
good of every member of the community who is harmed by being denied access
to a plot of land. (The harm done by each landlord to each other person may
be miniscule, but in aggregate it is large.) This could in theory be done
through the provision of public goods.
(The public good which the Classical Liberals most wanted funded through
Land Value Taxes is a justice system that protects private property. By
recognizing a distinction between valid private property in things made by
labor and invalid property in land, it is possible for a government to
protect valid private property without aggressing against anyone by taxing
any valid private property.)
The provision of public goods can, however, never be truly equitable. Such
goods will always benefit some individuals more than others, and will
typically provide greater benefit to those who choose behaviors that risk
greater harm to themselves and others. It is probably a better solution to
simply redistribute the LVT funds on a per capita basis as an unconditional
basic income guarantee or citizens’ dividend. That would avoid most of the
perverse incentives of the welfare state, while giving the poorest members
of society a greater ability to have their needs and desires met by the
free market.
The numbers differ from place to place (roughly proportional to cost of
living), but in most of the developed world it is estimated that an LVT
could fund a citizen’s dividend worth about $1000 per person per month. For
most of us that could cover the cost of housing (including the portion of
rent paid as the LVT) plus leave enough to buy decent insurance. It would
not be enough to let us live comfortably without ever working, but would
provide a great deal of security and would allow the individual much
greater control over his own life.
Been saying much of this for years.
Stefan, considering how you make your money(via the internet) would you
consider moving onto a seaworthy liveaboard and conducting your business
from there. You could then possibly avoid the minimum residence times in
any one place in order to avoid being classed as a tax resident.
Blunt clarity is entertaining to me. I wonder how statists perceive a
message like this. On my channel, I make a plea to Americans to just not
file in 2015. It would be the most massive act of civil disobedience and
send a clear statement.

Good exception there Stef, I unplugged the coax from my TV a long time ago
