Great idea! I propose you lead by example. Go to your employer tomorrow and refuse to accept a penny more than 10,000 a year. That is more than enough to rent a $500 a month studio apartment and another $200 a month on utilities and food. You don't need anything more than that, and you're just unfairly profiting on the backs of people making less money than you do now.
Whereas your entire premise is based on the fallacy of overprecision.
We all know that it's theft. You simply don't like the word because you can't hide from what it says about what you are doing, so you sanitize it away until you are comfortable.
-Nobody wants to pay taxes, but they all want good schools, safe and well-maintained streets, etc.-
This is a false dilemna fallacy.
The current tax rate is far in excess of what is needed to maintain infrastructure. Waste and corruption is horrendous, entitlement programs are needless and duplicated. Crap, just eliminating 10% of the waste in the federal Entitlement programs would net every man, woman and child in this country a 200$ annual tax cut.
The real problem is that too many Americans have decided that someone else should pay for what they want. We have learned that we can vote ourselves money from the public largess.
Engineers don't make decisions at NASA. That's like saying don't bash China, the people are great. Well, yeah, probably so, but they don't have squat to say about what their country does.
When engineers DID make decisions at NASA, we got the Apollo program. When bureaucrats started making decisions we got Challenger (deck engineer overruled by a manager) and Columbia (flight engineers overruled by managers.)
No, they can't. Even our government, which has a document specifically limiting its powers is constantly trying to find ways around it to grab more and more power and control more and more of your life. The current method in our country is judicial dictatorship.
FDR understood the potentials of judicial dictatorship, which is why he tried to stack the supreme court by upping its number to 15 judges.
The current rabid fight against Constitutionalists as Judicial nominees (if you think it's for any other reason, you're a fool), shows that modern-day Dems still understand this principle.
You are one of the reasons that 3 million people still die of this disease because you lie to them about how it is transmitted and how to stop that transmission, and you engage in Kill the Messenger fallacies against those who do tell the truth.
AIDS is always in the news. It's constantly in your face in the news.
The fact is, 3 million people died of AIDS because they don't want to take the cure, or have been lied to about what the actual cure is.
1. Stop having gay sex. 2. No sex before marriage 3. Sex only with your wife after marriage 4. No drugs.
What was that African nation whose AIDS rate dropped to almost nothing, because their people were willing to take the cure, and their leaders were willing to push it and promote it?

Perhaps the picture isn't as simple as you paint.
Agreed. I much prefer to go by the mass grave counts, which are at about 300,000 right now.

It. A pronoun referencing an inanimate object.
No sharing limit. A noun phrase.
It was removed. A subordinate phrase indicating the noun phrase, no sharing limit.
Translation for those with 3rd grade English: People were abusing the no sharing limit to copy music P2P-style, so the no sharing limit was removed.

The cool thing about gravity wells and rocketry is that you get huge returns with a relatively small reduction in the gravity well.
A single-stage to orbit rocket on Earth is pretty much impossible with current technology.
On the moon, it's a piece of cake. The moon is a fantastic launching point for the rest of the solar system.
It's gravity that counts, not distance. If there's no water on the moon, you get it from Mars, not from Earth.
Fallacies of false dilemna seem to be really popular these days.
Hint: We can do both.

And every domain in Israel would be banned as being a terrorist organization undermining the enlightened rule of Yassar Arafat.
Constitution? Bill of Rights? Sounds like the United States to me. So, why not just leave it here?
Wow. Being a liberal must suck. Constantly miserable and seeing only cynicism and duplicity in people and hating everyone who disagrees with you.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting here excited about the prospect of having a manned base on the moon in the next ten years.
Your example is the classic broken window fallacy of economics.

OK. Fine. You want free education, then here are the terms:
No beer.
No parties.
No spring break.
I get to pick your course of study.
I get to pick where you go.
You don't like those terms? Then quit whining for me to pay for your education.
Which, of course, is the perfect argument FOR government-sponsored education. Then you get propaganda camps instead of education.
Private education results in education. Public education results in indoctrination.
You must be a Mac user. On Windows EVERYTHING needs to have a driver installed before you can use it. The Windows people are used to this.
Nor should there be. The last thing I want is some elitist dictator running around telling businesses how much money is enough for them.
It's called FREE enterprise for a reason.
Money is hardly valueless. It is the method whereby we quantize human wants. Check out an ebay auction some time to see the principle at work.
Sheesh. Even Marx, with his screwed up ideas, understood economics better than some of the posters on this site.
I swear, Adam Smith should be required reading before posting on anything economic.
"Today's wants are tomorrow's needs."
Memorize it.
Your logic is circular. Try again.
A very nicely done Kill the Messenger fallacy.
The nation is Uganda.
You are one of the reasons that 3 million people still die of this disease because you lie to them about how it is transmitted and how to stop that transmission, and you engage in Kill the Messenger fallacies against those who do tell the truth.
Wrong.
The nation is Uganda. Look it up.
