Re: Counter to "Why Bitcoin is dropping ...buying." AMA format / doomsday debunked
Taxation is no more theft than Bitcoin is child pornography 
Consider this:
1) someone with a gun puts that gun against your head and tells you to pay them half of your income.
2) ten strong guys put you in a cage and tell you they will let you out if you give them half of your income.
3) ten strong guys put you in a cage, and tell you they will let you out if you buy for half of your income, beany babies.
4) ten strong guys put you in a cage, and tell you they will let you out if you pay them half of your income, and then they will make sure that no other guys will put you in a cage again.
5) the gouvernment will put you in a cage unless you pay them half of your income, and in return they will make sure that nobody else will put you in a cage. On top of that, you get a museum of modern art for it which you can then visit by paying an entrance ticket.
Where's the difference ?
Hello my born-again libertarian friend! And what a purty hobby horse it is you're riding today, never seen one quite like it before, such original, very wow!
1-4: The reason it doesn't happen is I live in a country where there are laws, and enough muscle to enforce those laws in a meaningful way. Those musclebound jackbooted thugs work up a big appetite, so some of my taxes go towards buying them fresh children to eat.
Good things cost money.
5. Yes, as far as making sure that no one else does, WWII certainly comes to mind. Of course, a privately funded militia of sulky middle-aged libers would have done the job far better, cheaper, and in half the time ...wait, aren't you French? Nevermind then, disregard.
