RE: [Cryptocurrency] Why should I pay taxes for mining cryptocurrency ? (My thoughts)

in #cryptocurrency9 years ago

The free market built roads long before the government monopolized them, including an interstate highway network and many bridges including the Bridge if the Gods on the Columbia River. People voluntarily bamded together to provide schools long before the government monopolized education, and created generations of people with superb educations without property taxes or other forms of extortion. Government courts do not produce justice now. All of your arguments are bad excuses for abuse, not justifications for civilization.

Sort:  

Roadways do not get planned built or maintained on any great scale without some form of central authority to organise it. Financing may be raised, but only under the financial guarantee of a central authority. A society simply cannot exist without some form of central authority raising a non-voluntary contribution from every citizen to undertake public work projects, or to finance local and territorial security.

Is administration necessary in a large project? Yes. But this does not mean that taxation, eminent domain, and government monopolization are necessary, or that many organizations cannot cooperate to achieve larger projects. Again, history disproves your assertion. You commented on my article, but obviously neglected the part where I mentioned specific instances where private organizations built a major bridge project and a transcontinental highway network.
