In Mitt's case, there are 2 popular theories as to what he's hiding: 1) he was paying the Mormon church less tithing than he was supposed to be paying; 2) he was one of the tax cheats that applied for amnesty when the Swiss cooperated with the IRS. Hell, it could even be both.
For all his faults, George W. Bush even released 13 years of tax returns. He probably had lots of complex business arrangements, but nothing that you wouldn't expect of a typical high net worth individual. If you aren't doing something that would betray the trust of the American people, who are considering making you the most powerful person in the world, you won't be hiding anything.
Value is purely a matter of perception, as is reality. The perceived value is in the GPU time, the scarcity of the current Bitcoin pool and the potential size of the Bitcoin pool.
The first 150,000 years of our species consisted of a system that precisely fulfills your fantasy world. And Somalia. Suffering and survival of the most violent. Life becomes a struggle for mere survival and nothing more, ie meaningless. Civilization implies you cannot get your way all the time and need to comprise so that a larger population can generally get along better. Humanity at large is not going to give that up for a failed ideal fapped upon by a fringe element.
Since $30,000 is not enough to cover any medical bills for a serious car accident, what this means is that the people who are paying for car insurance are giving a handout to the people who decide to "self insure" by virtue of higher premiums. Effectively, if you can self-insure for only $30,000, you are no better than a cheat without any car insurance.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever read and I see this shit all the time on FB from some of my anarcho-capitalist leaning friends. Literally, all you are doing is substituting "The Government (tm)" for a different government, and just cleverly avoiding the use of the word.
If you're hiring out to a part of the world you'll never visit and never know the people, you are going to miss out on spotting talent that can help your company grow. Our company has a very tedious and mind-numbing research project that is perfect for outsourcing, but we use interns from area colleges. The star players on the intern team shine through and are given a chance for employment. I guess that's the difference between looking at people as a long-term investment versus disposable labor though.
The old straw man of "being offended". Sexual harassment has nothing to do with being offended. It is almost guaranteed that someone is going to be offended about something. What's not acceptable is creating a hostile and intimidating environment where someone cannot function at their job.
The Constitution of the US does not grant or enumerate rights to citizens; it limits the rights of the government. Huge difference from a European-style (and I mean that in a pejorative sense) "subject society".
"Or just include those provisions in your own private contract..."...to which no one would have ready access in the scenario described above. Uniform partnership acts, which are already in use and are a well-understood and established legal concept, can readily provide for this. The infrastructure is in place; there is no need to make it more complicated.
You mean the unconscious patient? The fact of the matter is that all states provide for some form of "Uniform Partnership Act" for regular business partnerships that fills in all the blanks so every partner gets a default set of rights that can then be modified on a case by case basis in a partnership agreement. It is no stretch to treat all marriages in the same way and have some form of Uniform Civil Partnership Act.
Europeans can be just as bad...remember the performance art cake that was made in protest of female genital mutilation in Africa? You know, the one that screamed when you cut a piece? This is along those same lines.
Empowering more women with more education will go a long way in solving many of the problems you described. This PSA is a direct strike against solving such woes.

Because we're all human beings, and therefore equally qualified to criticize any culture or government that would take away someone's rights.

Puerile naÃveté. Systems of justice, insurance, etc. have no validity unless sanctioned by a democratically-elected government that derives its authority from the populace at large. Competing prisons and security forces are no different than foreign invaders and would be treated as such. Any sort of court and its judgments would be meaningless. There is no personal motivation whatsoever to respect such arrangements.

I think of this as something similar to a Roku, but with better game support.
Things are different in this post-Columbine environment.
All that matters is that you are using your resources to consume media put out by the entrenched interests, rather than seeking out alternatives.
If you're still partaking in TV programming, regardless of the means, you haven't said goodbye to it.

So they end up having to continuously defend themselves and have no effective freedom.

Putting aside the tax strategy, it is still better to have a CEO's pay tied to company performance via stock options than a salary.

Current Internet thinking is that the Flintstones takes place in the future, concurrently with the Jetsons.
I don't think you need to provide a URL; pretty much everyone knows this by now.

Zero, and that's my point. By not being allowed to charge the telcos fair market rent for use of my property, they get a free ride.
No, a rent-free right of way across MY REAL ESTATE is what financed the pipes.
