A representative democracy is a democracy.
Is Trump allowed to rob me? What about Biden? What about Schumer?
Here the concept the authority is allowed to rob you is examined.
Sweden as an example?
Do you believe in the U.S. Constitution or not?
It's not, but, taking my audience into account; let me simplify:
All levels of Government in These United States derive their AUTHORITY from THE Constitution, State Constitutions, local charters and/or other legally approved documents. Those documents allow them to write laws and enforce laws, tax and spend taxes to supply government and government services. By residing in These United States and the State and local he does, your "video guy" subjects himself to the laws and taxation of Government.
Individual Citizens do NOT reserve or derive any authority to create their own laws or enforce them, from government. <-period Individuals can have rules they enforce in their home, on their property or place of business; AS LONG AS THOSE RULES DON'T CONFLICT WITH "THE LAW OF THE LAND". Therefore the premise of his video falls apart right out of the gate since "robbery" is universally against the law.
Obviously you don't know what "jingoism" means. My first reply may have been smug, snobbish and insulting; but it was correct.
Larken Rose is just another tax protester who did time in the federal pen for his antics.
Then why did you bring up Lincoln and slavery? And by claiming that the CSA were fine in giving themselves authority to take over Fort Sumter, you’ve undermined your whole point on giving oneself authority.
He was the first modern president to more than double the national debt. How fabulous is that? Even my great-grandkids will be reminded as they try to pay more than interest payments on Reagan's debt.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^better argument. I know what jingoism means.
So you up the pathetic by a thousand? Good for you.

Same argument simplified. Apparently you don't, there was nothing jingoistic about my first reply.

Reagan was a piker compared to what Obama did to all of us. Obama took the debt from 9 trillion to 19 trillion rounded up.
I said you gave a better argument. Why not accept the compliment?
I've seen that topic argued to death. That is the most elegantly succinct reply. <- period I can't believe I didn't think of it. BRAVO!!!
Next time some knucklehead starts with "it's a republic" nonsense ... may I use it? (I'm going to anyway)
So, then you're not a financial expert? Because if you were you'd know that Reagan doubling our national debt locked us into exponential debt growth with no easy way out. And, Reagan did it at a time we WERE NOT in the depths of the second worst financial crisis ever.
The Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) is a method of depreciating property for tax purposes; it allows individuals and businesses to write off capitalized assets in an accelerated manner. Adopted by the U.S. Congress in 1981 as part of the Economic Recovery Tax Act, ACRS assigns assets to one of eight recovery classes—ranging from 3 to 19 years—depending on the assets' useful lives. These recovery classes are used as the basis for depreciation of the assets.
The idea behind ACRS was to increase the tax deduction for depreciation of property and thus increase the cash flow available to individuals and businesses for investment. It was put in place during an economic recession and "unleashed a torrential flow of corporate cash," according to Elizabeth Kaplan in Dun's Business Month. In fact, at the time it was enacted, ACRS was expected to add between $50 and $100 billion to the incomes of individuals and businesses over a 10-year period.
Larken won't agree but thanks for endorsing the Trump government.
Just pointing out it wasn't a "better" argument; it was the same argument reworded.
We do not "endorse" Trumps governing but we know his days are numbered. That is how America has lasted nearly 250 years. We don't have kings and bad leadership will lead to ouster.
Ouster is up for debate. I will vote for Trump. So will these people.
I am a financial expert in a particular field. What Reagan inherited took a special tax program. Bet you have no idea what it was.

Fine, you did not give a better argument. Sorry I complimented you and you object vociferously.
There's two individuals in that video and one of them is a dog.
Keep counting.
