Most of them don't even have an income to pay taxes one.

Seriously though. How do libertarians expected police forces, firefighters, public services, public works, transportation, and roads to be built without taxation.

Don't say that private individuals will do it. The only roads that would get built by corporations are highways and airport runways. Residential roads would never get built. I also don't want to have corporation funded police.

Libertarians believe in taxation for essential government services. Libertarians recognize the necessity of a state and states can't run without taxes.

You may be thinking of anarcho-capitalists.

I hear regular libertarians often complaining about taxation. There definition of necessary is also sometimes messed up. There are quite a few who don't believe emergency services or police as necessary services.

Roads would still be built by the state in a Libertarian society if people vote to pay for it.

One is subsidized by and works with the state to maximise profits and monopolise the market by pushing out competition though government regulation.

The other doesn't do any of that and operates normally through voluntary means.

The rich write laws that benefit them. The judicial system is set up so that who-ever has enough money can get out of any crime. The tax code is set up so that rich people have tons of deductions and loopholes which allow them to pay much less tax compared to the poor.

>Why do liberals love taxation so much

Fixed that for you. Rest of your question is irrelevant because demand will create a way to achieve a desired result in a free market. Why do you think there wont be smaller road building companies specialised in cheaper/smaller residential roads that people can pay for themselves for example?
>>
>>80352263
>if people vote to pay for it

Why vote? If it's in the best interest for the people to have roads, then they will get built either through private or public means. It will happen regardless.

Just because it's in the best interest in people doesn't mean they will do. Studies show that giving a universal basic income is better than welfare programs, but people will never support the former over the latter. People vote for more cheap immigrant labor to come in to the country. That isn't in their best interest.
>>
Labels like ''libertarian'' are just that, labels.

The way I see it's just a label people pick up just because they want a smaller government, less taxes and less laws. Once that is achieved I can guarantee that they will not ask for even less of a government and even less taxes, they'll just drop the label.

Debating over who would build roads in an anarchist society is just retarded when the goal of libertarians is just to end the welfare state, stop paying billions for useless shit like government funded gender studies, government spending money on ''art'' like women who masturbate with crosses etc.
Libertarianism is just a response to the batshit insane shit that is happening right now.

If people want to have roads built then they will be built. So long as they have the resources to do so and it isn't too expensive, they will be built.

If there is a demand to build roads in the market, then there will eventually be business men willing to compete to supply that demand at a reasonable price. This fundamental economical principal doesn't not apply just because you're building roads.

Sure maybe highways. Residential roads will not get built. Why would they. They are too expensive for residents to build and corporations don't benefit from building them. We still need goods so it's not like we can refuse to purchase shit until roads are built.

But that's who does it right now - the government takes the tax money and goes to a private contractor to do the work.

I see it mostly as a wish to know all the budget details.
"That`s not tax, that payment for military-education-socsec-border.defence-etc."

I think it would be really useful to allow people to subscribe to this kind of taxation plans, where they know whom are they paying and for what.

Because modern politics is all about throwing shit at eachother about muh racism and muh weak energy, without any factual parts of the capmaigning.

Actually Trump could use this with all his financial background.
"This is the paycheck you pay now - this is the paycheck you will pay under hillary - this is the paycheck you will pay under my presidency".

GOP actually should`ve done this first time they heard about obongocare. Now they`d have the tool to bash him for overinflated spending. And would have votes of all the lefties youth. Because all of them atheists are not about SJW or cultural marxism. They are actually about to look smarter than other people and to think, that they are smarter. And if you give them obongos financial disaster description, that looks smart, then the sect takes their favorite bait like there`s no tomorrow.

who said shit about direct democracy? the private construction workers would make the road and the person using that road would pay for driving on them. If the road is shit then the private owner wont drive on them and wont pay for it.

Not a libertarian, but for me it'5s because I don't get to decide on how the money taken from me is spent. Firefighters, roads, etc is fine, but I don't want half of my labor siphoned away to feed third world filth or pay some corrupt politician's salary.

Yes we do. Unless you are paying 100k plus in taxes a year you probably are. Average american salary is 50k. At 30% tax rate that's 15k a year.

That's the problem. Some services are needed that are not profit driven. Without government funded courts we would probably have private ones, but I don't want a privately owned court driven by profits. At the same time I don't want to pay a new fee every time I use a different road. Also since roads are so vital a company that owns them could charge you whatever they want. You either have to pay or get fucked.

Residential streets could be paid by communities paying a annual due at a negotiable amount to pay specifically for the roads.
>I also don't want to have corporation funded police.
Privatley funded police do not necessarily have to be funded by corporations after all not only are there not corporations everywhere but a corporation would not have any jurisdiction over any place that did not agree to allow them it.
A local government could pay for a private police force (libertarians are generally okay with small government), also a volunteer police force was the go to means of peacekeeping for over a century in america.

Lets calculate that
Average miles driven by an American per year. 135000 miles=21700km

Corporations often require government advantages to get as big as they do.
Modern companies can afford to make extremely high risk high reward moves because they know that at a certain point they become to big to fail and if their move ends in bankruptcy the government will step in to bail them out since their disolvment would mean possibly millions of people out of jobs.
Not only that but numerous regulations that currently exist are actually beneficial to megacorps because it creates a significant barrier for entry into the market that most small businesses cannot pass therefore limiting the megacorps competition to only a select number of other megacorps.

A an cap or libertarian society would pull the safety net out from under them and knock down the barrier to entry which is the last thing anyone in a large corporation would want.

The main difference is that if you can be part of the committee that decides that hires the company you can have a say in what company gets hired and how your money is spent.

Elected representatives are mostly a relic of a time before electronic communication.

Because most, if not all government officials are limpdick leeches who spend money and legislate so poorly and inefficiently that I find their incompetence borders on malice. So my response to that is, why would I want to give these idiots any more money? Why would I willingly volunteer my money away so that they can spend it on something totally needless and unnecessary?

I understand I have to pay taxes, I'm a libertarian not an anarchist. But they should be spent on basic defense and justice, not on welfare and art school scholarships are some other arbitrary, stupid bullshit.

I cannot conceive how anyone could disagree with me, why would you willingly want YOUR earned capital spent on shit you don't want, need, or care about? That is the definition of masochism. Statists are in facts masochists, typically weak and spineless bootlickers with low T E S T.

Under a certain age sex would cause injury and for a few years after that they may be physically capable but still not psychologically of dealing with it nor capable of understanding the potential risks.

Mowing a lawn or working in a store doesn't hold the same risks.

It violates the non-agression principle to rape someone and if that occurs you can call the private police force to deal with it. No state required.

Yes, people who were born into white-collar rich families tend to be libertarian of very pro-free market. It's not a b8, m8. Even animal experiments show this tendency. If you give a subject better conditions, he gets used to it so fast that he starts to feel superior and aggressive towards others, altruism gets replaced with egoism. On human level it is usually expressed as "those people should work harder" mumble.
Thing is, people are born with extremely different conditions, genetics, social status etc. Pretty much everything you get in your life is not earned but given, meaning that it was not the expression of your free will/effort. (Country, health, parents, social status, genetics - intelligence and so on.)
Libertarian theory is born of egoism rather than a desire to efficiently regulate the society, that's it.

Liberatarianism is absurd in its most right wing forms because they acknowledge that thievery has occurred, but they defend any property regardless of whether it was stolen. I can live on some land that I bought with money my evil cronyist grandfather gave me, but the government can't stop me from masturbating on the edge of my property whenever schoolchildren go by. They wish to privatize all land holdings, but do not want to privatize the responsibilities people have accepted when they moved into communities/bought property in the community.

Another flaw with ancap is that if you create a society that is completely moral by physically removing all people who break NAP to elsewhere, you end up basically selecting a society of people with lots of empathy and high IQ scores.
Now what is the problem? Well, outside your ancap territory there are going to be tons of low-IQ, uncompassionate people. If you create an ancap paradise, you have created a society of people who should be leaders. Not only will you find yourself busy keeping the rabble out, you will be unable to engage in globalism because the rest of the world is leaderless.

Smart teenagers are usually born to smart parents who are usually financiall well off. Therefore these kids usually don't work these shit jobs.

oh yeah!? well you support genocide and torture and fraud

I would say no to that, it's an aggressive act that harms them (something tells me you can't stretch the hole without damage), so at that point it becomes a matter of legality.

If I did you would be violating it.

No. A toddler is the property of the parent . A toddler does not have the ability to express self-ownership over his body by running away from the parents. (The "moment" in which self-ownership is realized is when a child has the ability to run away from his owner.)

Only genocide and torture of lol-bertarians and anarcho-cucks

What if it was a women raping a male baby. Or say I had a small dick and used lube on a female baby.
>>
>>80388542
I'm not dodging the question. I assumed you were intelligent enough to understand that children are incapable of making rationale life decisions. And that because children are incapable of making rationale decisions, the responsibility to ensure the well being of the child falls on the parent of the child, until the child reaches the age of 18.

you just keep on pretending like you're smart.
>>80388942
no, it's you. but that's ok. I know you can only project.
>>
>>80389056
So if my toddler crawls away from me is that self-ownership. Also since the toddler is the parents property is it ok for the parent to rape it.
>>
>>80389241
So is it ok for the parent to rape the child?
>>
>>80389136
The point is, they don't want it and it is rape. I can't go out in the street and start raping a women while I scream "IT'S OK, YOU HAVE SELF-OWNERSHIP YOU WANT THIS HAHAHA", I would sound like a madman. It goes into consent and all that bullshit. I should have stated that in the first place.
