So where is the first amendment protection exactly? The right to free speech is destroyed by the government completely, the right to free association, the basic idea that you own your body, your property, your labour, all of it is absolutely destroyed and this shit started back in the early 1900s when the Sherman act was passed, when the income taxes were set up, when the gold dollar was turned into paper, all of this crap led to this total destruction of individual rights and liberties.
Where is the freedom, freedom to do anything at all that humans should be able to do on this planet? We live once, only one fucking time. There is no fucking god, there is no fucking afterlife, there is no fucking anything after you are dead, you live once and the so called 'society' is a prison and the government is the warden and the cops and the military are the jailers, prison guards.
There is no freedom, there is nothing left, the money is fake, the economy is fake, the Constitution is fake, the society is fake, the judges are fake, the laws are fake.
A woman or a man (and anything in between) must be able to sell their labour, their services, whatever those services must be. They must be able to keep the fruits of their labour without any society infringing upon these rights that should be protected simply because it makes sense to protect those rights for others so that your rights can be protected too.
Rights are not something somebody gives to you, it is what the oppression cannot take away that you created or provided.
WHO WANTS THESE LAWS? Which ones of you are actually for this shit, I want to know?
Complete and utter nonsense. My car is an extension of my home, only it is portable. Same for most other drivers. I keep things in my car that I need (for work mostly). A family with kids keeps crap in their cars that are necessary for them, for various extracurricular activities, for entertainment, whatever. As cars become better at avoiding obstacles and preventing crashes there will be more people on the roads driving them, not fewer and people want to own stuff, that is why they want to buy houses rather than renting (mostly). Not everybody can afford it but that is a different matter.
In short this is crap, Lyft and Uber will get nowhere with this fast.
If your business is so great and so critical to society
1. It doesn't matter if any business is 'great' or 'critical to society'. There are plenty of businesses that are not critical to society and may not be that great, but they are still profitable, which means there is an exchange going on between the business and customers that is positive for both sides.
why can't it handle paying the taxes
2. Oppression is oppression, it doesn't matter what anybody 'can handle'. You are arguing for some sort of an involuntary action as opposed to a voluntary one, that's why.
that help bring customers to it
3. That's completely tangential. Customers of a business in a free market are not brought to a business because of taxes. People who purchase products and services are doing so on their own accord.
You're located on a road that is maintained by the state, are you not
4. That's the oppression. There shouldn't be such a thing as a 'state' or a 'state maintained road' in the first place. All infrastructure must be privatised and never again handled by any form of a government agency. Your argument is: the government just broke your legs but here, it gave you a nice pair of very fine crutches, why aren't you happy?
You located your business where you can access skilled workers who were educated by the state, did you not?
5. Not at all true for all of my workers, for some it is true, but the argument is still the same: this is oppression of the highest order. The government forces itself into education and then argues that without government there wouldn't be education. That's nonsense. If I had a thousand lives I would build a thousand businesses (or more) and I am sure some of them would be in education (in fact one of my current businesses is in education). Government is the usurper, not some force anybody should be dealing with.
You're taking advantage of utilities and infrastructure that are maintained and regulated for safety by the government, are you not?
6. This is precisely the kind of crap that propagates the oppression by the government. ALL infrastructure should be done as a business for profit and not as some sort of a collectivist oppression.
If none of that matters, I'm quite sure there are no laws preventing you from packing up your business and moving it to a libertarian paradise like Somalia or Afghanistan and attempting to run it there.
7. I am not a Somali nor am I Afghani. On the other hand the Americans are the ones that gave up the idea of individual freedoms (including the freedoms to run your own businesses without government intervention) over the last 120 years or so. The problem is with the encroachment of oppressive collectivist force and everybody will not just move to a country that is culturally incompatible with them. I am not interested in learning Somali language or culture that much but I am sure I could set up a business there just fine and there are millions of people living there and certainly they have businesses. Is your argument that there are no businesses in Somali because the government there is not as centralized as in America for example? You believe there are no businesses in Afghanistan, is that it?
People should be doing what they can to improve their lives where they decided to be already and people in America came there for a reason: freedom *from* government intervention, not welfare, not collectivism, not business regulations, not income taxes, not property taxes.
Those things are what is destroying the country and businesses, those are not positive things, they are very negative and dangerous things that are destroying the society by destroying freedoms the society was supposed to have.
What they are afraid of is that the client will default on the loan that the credit card company is issuing. They are a lender, and they are making a prudent decision not to lend money for transactions that are likely to lose the loaned sum and the client is a high risk of defaulting on the loan.
Everybody 'needs help', very few people would refuse free stuff if presented the opportunity to get it. As to political power - the political power in the modern democratic system is derived from the desires of these large mobs of people to get free stuff, that's how politicians rise today - by promising to take away from a small minority of those who have and to redistribute to the large majority who want it but do not have it. It doesn't matter how much they want it or how much they think they need it, what matters is that they are providing the political power to those, who are using these large agglomerations of people to justify their policies of theft and of oppression, of collectivist robbery.
Of course the important thing to remember is to remove government regulations and expenses and thus taxes, allowing people to start their own businesses, which is the goal - owning the means of production.
I thought it was a dictator that put thousands of innocents to jail, a line of code did nothing. A line of code can kill if it is a lime of code in some critical software, like a dam or a power plant or an aircraft controlling software. This here was not a line of code but a government.
You know, you are most welcome to support people that are not working, anyone can do that completely voluntarily. You are completely misrepresenting what is at the core of this reaction to those who are not working being given everything by the system. The reaction is due to the theft, robbery, oppression required to maintain a system where some can use the oppression of the state to steal from others.
Of-course as per usual your entire world view is wrong, companies are the entities that innovate, it is in their best interest, that's what is happening in China - companies are innovating.
In the USA the serious monetary inflation that started when USA defaulted on the gold dollar back in 1976 eventually led to companies moving production elsewhere, and innovation follows production.
If you are not producing then you do not have the reasons for innovation in the first place, I talked about it at length for years here, that's the main reason my rating here does not allow me to post more than 1-2 times a day.
- I am happy that there is China because otherwise the world would be made of shit like you. There should be China, there should be more than just China, I want people to do their own bidding and to make their own decisions, the collective can go to hell, especially where it concerns the body of an individual doing stuff to him/herself.
Puerto Rico has no federal income taxes, no federal minimum wage requirement (though they have their own idiotic minimum wage that 80% of the population was making, thus proving that it is insanely high for Puerto Rico economy) exchanging that right for the privilege of very questionable value of voting in federal elections would be idiotic.
Now, do *You* want to know why every country moved away from the gold standard? Because government wants to have power to corrupt and to bribe, to run illegal wars, to interfere in business, to destroy individual freedoms (literally), to purchase votes with unproductive and economically insane spending.
Having gold money does not require owning a gold mine. Gold money can be borrowed and lent for legitimate business activity, it can be earned with work. You can sell your goods and sercices in exchange for gold money, in fact that is how most people live.
Government does not want to live like that, it cannot legitimately offer much for sale, so it cannot earn money, it has to coerce and steal and rob. Government wants to print its debts away. As an individual you cannot do that but as long as money can be created out of thin air by a government it will have that ability - simply to print debts away. The Federal reserve band and other central banks are simply money counterfeiting operations and the Treasury is a money launderer. That is why they outlawed gold as money - too hard to counterfeit it.
OMG, I want to find out where did you learn this fable, who told you this and how come you are still spewing any part of it as if it were anywhere close to the actual reality? Who and where is churning out the automatons that keep repeating this never ending pile of crap about Ford paying workers so that they could afford to buy his cars? ???? ???? This is total and absolute nonsense. The only single reason Ford paid 2x as much for his workers as any other manufacturer did at the time was to retain the trained worker and to reduce turn over at his highly specialized and modernized factory facilities. His employees basically were trained much better and were much more productive because of the capital investment that allowed to them to become so productive, this productivity commanded a higher wage because nowhere else, except at Ford's factories at the time anybody demanded the same level of dedication and knowledge and responsibility. Selling cars produced by Ford to Ford's worker was completely irrelevant, the money that the workers made came from the factory's profits, the cars were made by these same workers, unless you claim some sort of a perpetuum mobile working in business you cannot seriously back your tired and false claim about Ford.
Sure, go ahead and tax gross revenue. So now if you used 100 dollars to buy something and sold it for 150, while spending 45 dollars doing it you will owe taxes on 150 gross revenue. Even at 1% tax on gross revenue you now only have 3.50 left. At 2% you have 2 bucks left, at 3% you have 50 cents and if you go over 3% the company is in the red. That is just one made up example but it is valid.
Oh, and good luck implementing a consumption tax big enough to run your government, you will be eaten alive by the collectivists and their voting block.
AFAIC paying taxes is evil, so in this case I applaud Google for doing what they set out to do. Taxes are evil and the collection methods are evil, governments are oppressive. I wish Google and everybody else a Happy New Year and to pay no taxes at all.
Back in the former ussr, yakutia, corca 1986 I watched a ball of light move slowly through the dark skies just above 5 storey buildings, walking from school during a polar night, it 'moved' slowly just above the rooftops for about 15 minutes while I was walking. Then it disappeared. Never saw anything like it again, cannot compare it to anything I have seen since. I wonder if it was some reflection of the moin or of the Sun, but it was quite dark outside, thw ball was bright white and perfectly round.
All infrastructure just like all health and food and everything else for that matter must be private and done for profit motive and nobody should ever be forced by any oppressive government collective be pay any taxes to provide anybody with any products and services. The poor must get help privately and never via any oppressive government collective. In the future the poor will no longer be able to oppress the rest of the population via any form of government collectivist oppressive action. The poor will have to fight through walls of machines to try and murder and steal from the productive portion of the population.
Governments legitimately murder people every day with guns, rockets, bombs, drones, etc. Governments are the biggest terrorist organizations, with police being the non-military terrorist arms of these terrorist organizations.
Government is a terrorist system with military and non-military assets used to terrorise individuals.
AFAIC the actual real legitimate reason to own any type of a weapon (including nuclear, biological, chemical, any type of a machine gun, drone, robot, etc.) is to be able to fight against a government. The fact that people have given up their absolute moral right to possess weapons of mass destruction shows that the vast majority of them are under a false belief that the terrorism in the hands of their government will not turn against them and they really like to use these terrorist organizations against some minority of people the majority does not like.

Nobody should be forced to help anybody by any government. The good thing about a falling birth rate is that fewer people will be oppressed.
Do not damage the economy, private individual, governments don't like competition.

So income taxes are going towards roads, is that it?
1.there shouldn't be any 'public' roads in the forst place
2. roads are a tiny portion of taxes, vast majority of taxes are not going towards roads.
All government taxation of income and property is immoral oppression and must be abolished.
Actually AFAIC your comment applies to the government, any government. Uber are heroes in my book.
