Could we end taxes, by having countries mine bitcoin. It seems to work out for El Salvador?
Okay I don't know if they stopped taxing, but is this possible ?

Show me products or services that wouldn't be provided better by quality and quantity by the free market. Taxes are needed for growing the parasitic bureaucracy that literally enslaves the people. We need to turn the argument on his feet again.

Hard agree. I was disappointed by the direction this post took. Why do people privilege the interests of the state so often? Let the state worry about how to steal from us and help us figure out how to not be stolen from.

I think it's the result of an education and media-based propaganda process that makes people think there can't be an alternative to the almighty commie state. Our society is growing an army of Peter Pans

I've thought for a while now that most people literally have Stockholm Syndrome towards the state. That's why there's so much more concern about the state's finances than their own. You're right that it's the result of persistent propaganda that starts early in childhood. Cult programming is hard to break.

Yep. I know people that personally feel responsible for healthy gov households and are begging for higher taxes. Germans and Spaniards. And it's always the same: I finish with my line ''taxes are theft'' just to bring in the same phrase: ''And who will be building the streeeeeets??''
But to me it's amusement

my point was that if the state did not take money but only could get money by providing a bond like the volcano bonds in El Salvador, we mighty be able to get out of a situation based on taxes and governments.

That's fair. My point is that once they stop stealing people's money I couldn't care less how they try to generate revenue.

I was just trying to see a way to make them stop the theft.

Canada seems to be a lost cause, but maybe the people will do something?
