    The research shows otherwise. That's the whole point. Try and catch up!

    You chose the very industry that you shouldn't. That industry refers to discrimination and monopsony power.

    You chose an industry that shows the consequences of labour market flexibility: racism and monopsony.

    Well done!

    You chose an industry where the research shows otherwise. As I said, weird choice!

    All law relies on the threat of violence. Even parking tickets.

    A parking ticket is an attempt to react to property rights.

    Parking tickets, like all laws, are enforced with the threat of violent death.

    You don't seem to care about property rights.

    Are you serious? Parking tickets are a fine and protection of property rights.

    Actually trespassing.
    Again, actually trespassing
    Fortunately I pay my taxes, so I'm not stealing.

    Besides I pay for my water, electricity, cable, etc. So I'm not sure why taxes are needed for these things.
    I pay for the infrastructure I use.

    Infrastructure? I'm not sure what you mean, other than roads.

    It's not voluntary. It is imposed by violence. You know this.

    If you sat there through the movie and they caught you and called the cops, you would be charged with everything they could charge you with, including theft of services.


    Same.


    How nice for you. I didn't say otherwise. Read it again.


    You didn't pay for the initial projects to set up the infrastructure. You pay for ongoing services.


    Not for the original construction. Just for ongoing use.


    Roads
    Bridges
    Development of water sources (reservoirs, rivers, etc.) and delivery to your street.
    Sewer systems
    Police
    Fire departments
    Prisons
    Rail and subway systems
    Airports
    Etc.

    So if we have to have taxes, then these are the only things that are legitimate reasons to tax?

    Don't you think that question is just a little bit ridiculous?
