RE: Universal Basic Income: Swift Demand

in #money7 years ago

Well, it will remain speech, because the supreme Court has already set the precedent! Just because it hasn't been reckoned, doesn't mean it won't hold. Also, you said "Some taxes are required to fund things like schools, road improvements etc. and therefore the taxing of our financial method of payment is an inevitability."
This is just plain wrong. Taxation is theft, plain and simple. Every service that taxation is though to be needed to pay for would be far more efficient and cheap if provided in a voluntary context, as needed in each place, not prescribed from a central authority.
My thought is that if the greed of the government were not slightly overstepping the self-preservation/power-loving aspect of the government, then crypto would be screwed for a little longer... But as it is, their greed is allowing for crypto markets to function because they want to nationalize the profit from them. This is gradually pulling out the supports from USD and will lead to it's replacement much more quickly.
