Your intellectual strength, and literary ability is great.
Your naivety is exceptional.
you will be hard pressed to find an argument that actually demonstrates people being forced to pay taxes.
Seriously ...?
Forget arguments ' demonstrating' anything.
Lets look at the reality of civilizations, with governments, and bureaucracy -since roman times-? of forced taxation...and work from that...
You will be hard pressed to find a reality that actually demonstrates people not being forced, into paying taxes.
Firstly, my friend, I don't see someones naivety as a negative.
Quite the opposite to be honest.
So to be exceptional in a quality I see as positive, is hardly disrespectful.
(you see it as negative quality?)
I showed nothing BUT respect for your intellect and literary expression. ('great' is a sign of respect by my definition).
Your reply demands a full answer - which I don't have time to give, right now - it Il'l reply to it when I have time.
So please don't feel disrespected.
It was your interpretation, not my meaning.
I apologize if I wasn't as eloquent as yourself, and my words were misconstrued.
Better to meet as equals, rather than you as a notional victim. (of disrespect), I'm sure you would agree.
be right back !
Cheers, matey
