They should leave it up to the buyer to pay any sales tax. My state allows you to claim any online purchases when doing your income tax for the year. I don't see how a small business could keep up with every sales tax percentage nationwide.
"Because the application to the true free market of say taking your children to that free market pediatrician is that he might be totally incompetent. He might kill your children."
I guess that could never happen outside of a free market.
"I know, you're libertarian, so you don't like many of my ideas, but if you want roads, clean air, clean water, postal delivery, the ability to purchase things that require loans, someone to deal with the results of your rights being violated, someone to put out fires, and much, much more, you'll need some form of organizing body, and that is called Government."
You're wrong if you think there's a difference between the two parties.
And you're an idiot if you think there isn't.
Did Obama close Gitmo and end the Patriot Act like he promised? Who's going to benefit from his healthcare plan? I'll put money down that in the end pharmaceutical companies and anyone else that backed his plan gets rich while Joe citizen pays through the nose. The government gets bigger every year regardless of which party is in charge, but feel free to call me names if it makes you feel better.
A true free market is powered by the free choice to buy what you want without.gov or corporate monopolies limiting that choice. There's no better system for economic success.
I'm a Libertarian and I don't like either party. You're wrong if you think there's a difference between the two parties.
1. "The Republicans generally support the goals of big business, and have a top-down approach to wealth."
So do the Democrats. How many poor Democrats are in congress? Seven of the top ten richest congressmen are Democrats.
2. "Many members feel that they have a moral imperative to attempt to push their moral agenda on people who have nothing to do with them"
Democrats do this also with issues like affirmative action and gay marriage.
3. "The Republicans are also very good at compelling members to conform and follow, even when a given member may disagree with a lot of party rhetoric, and even when it's not in their best interests to actually agree."
Same for the Democrats. How to you think the Democrats get 98% of the black vote. It's almost impossible to get 98% of any group to agree on anything. My friend is a coal miner and voted for Obama because the union told him too. If that's not voting against your self interest, I don't know what is.
Crack a book. Certain demographics are more likely to get arrested for crimes, even when they are no more likely to commit the crime. Drug usage is a prime example of having the same percentage of black and white abusers, yet blacks have an arrest rate of 4x that of whites.
How do you explain the off the chart murder rates in the black community? Blaming the racism boogeyman for every problem is why the black community has the problems it does now. It may not be politically correct, but I wouldn't consider living in a majority black area due to the crime rates.
Why would you want to come to this gestapo country? Stay in Europe. What are you going to want to do next summer, go to summer camp in North Korea?
Why does every discussion have to devolve into US bashing? This country has been heading in the wrong direction since Sep 11th and it sucks, but we still have real freedom of speech including "hate speech", and in many areas you can own just about any weapon you want, including full auto with the right tax stamp. These are things you can't do in most of Europe or Canada. Not that I have anything against Europe or Canada. Their laws are their business not mine.
To the original question, if you have the means to travel to the US or another country, do it. I've lived in Europe and Asia and travel has always been a learning experience for me.
Nothing is stopping you or anyone else from helping our community.

I also pay 30% or more. It wouldn't bother me as much if I didn't see so many welfare slugs gaming the system for every free benefit they can get their hands on. Many of them hide their income or just blow their money on worthless crap, but I guess if they need more, I should just work harder and make do with less.

I hope you get what you deserve too

If we can't use it for power generation, what are we going to use it for?

Nice straw man. I said Libertarian not Anarchist.
Affirmative action is discrimination, and I'm not against gay marriage but it is a moral issue for many people.
