I can't tell if Trump or his campaign manager are actually smart & doing this stuff on purpose. One thing is for sure is that Trump is a million times more charismatic than Barack Obama, which was said to be a big factor as to why people voted for him.

No, that was not my argument at all. Good try.
Ben Carson's tax plan does not, "only reduce taxes for the wealthy."
Income taxation is also very nasty, inefficient, corrupted, and is not the best route of taxation.
Xier0 said:No they don't. If citizens got to choose how much they each paid in taxes, each person would choose to pay no taxes. The difference between taxes and charity, which you are clearly confusing, is that you choose to donate your money to charity, but taxes are taken from you by force.
We choose whether we want our taxes to be higher or lower when we vote.
Xier0 said:Objectively false. Citizens don't get to choose what they get to spend tax money on. If they did, they wouldn't have been taxed it and they would have literally chosen where to spend it themselves!
Xier0 said:Objectively false! If I stole your car and left $5 in the parking spot, it is still theft because you didn't decide to sell it for $5!
Theft is the taking of assets of from people without their consent and giving nothing in return. Taxes on the other hand are consented to by citizens in exchange for services.
Xier0 said:Objectively false once again. When you rent a room/house, you are making a voluntary decision to trade money for goods. When you are taxed, it is done without your consent.
Xier0 said:Literally supporting my point. The first is not voluntary, the second is.
Xier0 said:What a joke.

On a side note. How long have you done this "debating libtards on the internet" thing, because I applaude you for being able to keep calm when responding to people like Ghast. I do understand that the way they win is by dragging you down to their level and then dismissing you for using emotional statements. They seem to ignore that their whole argument is based on emotions rather than hard proof. I keep finding myself thinking "If this was an appartment party then I'd calmly explain my point of view for other people lisening, but since this is the internet then fuck being polite, he surely wont be polite to my intelligence and to common sense". I guess I should try to think of the internet as a 24/7 appartment party. But it's just so hard when you know that no matter what you say or how much hard proof you give the other person will not change his mind(trying to change Ghast point of view is like breaking down a brick wall with water balloons, it just isn't going to happen). Anyways keep up the good work and maybe people reading your replies that havn't formed an opinion on the matter will see the factual and moral superiority of your arguments vs someone like Ghast.
I never said, or claimed that his plan was only to reduce taxes for the wealthy. Nor did I claim that for any of the other republican candidates. Their tax plans, however, are significant tax cuts for the wealthy. This is a fact.
I suggest you read the article in full.
I can't speak for what the article issuer means, but I'm pretty sure this is tied to his point on voting. Everyone knows you can't specifically choose where your taxes go.
Read the article.
Contradictory to your claim above. WHEN YOU COME TO LIVE THE US YOU AGREE TO PAYING THESE TAXES IN EXCHANGE FOR SERVICES.
Read above, I cover this multiple times.
The government is subject to the will of the people. This includes protection and commitment to justice. Saying this is a joke isn't an argument.
Applauding someone for keeping calm during a debate is like applauding someone for keeping quiet in a library, this is to be expected. Acting like a hothead doesn't make your arguments sound any better, in fact it does the opposite. Instead of piggybacking on the arguments of others, create your own. I'm stating facts, with articles supporting my arguments, you on the other hand are not. Continuously slandering me, but not replying to my arguments directly doesn't make you any better than what you make of me. The way you're acting is childish.
karilrais said:No matter how you sugarcoat it, taxation is theft at gunpoint and saying that you get 30% back doesn't undo the fact that it was taken from you at gunpoint. How do you fail to see this is beyond my understanding.
karilrais said:You suggest that when we vote we decide to raise or lower taxes, but what if we don't vote or if we vote to lower taxes and they raise them instead. Is that theft then or did we also choose that. To me it doesn't looks like we get a saying in this no matter who we vote for or if we vote at all. This is why we need smaller government.
Let me give you an example:
You come to a country to live in, you'd have to pay taxes to live there in exchange for services they provide, you choose to live there knowing these things.
Is it still theft if you receive the benefit of these services they provide, and receive a tax return that you consented to by choosing to live in that specific country? No.
If you don't vote, that is on you. If you do vote for someone who campaigns that they plan on reducing taxes, then does the opposite, then you deserve to be mad, but it's still not theft. Look at the example above. There is no agreement of a set tax that you'd pay by choosing to live in an area. You agree to paying taxes alone by choosing to live there.
This entire thread has turned into "You didn't read/respond to my argument so i won't read/respond to yours" It's turned completely convoluted.
Even if you're a republican i don't know how you could possibly support Donald Trump, what exactly is he bringing to the table besides how easy it seems to be for him to spew nonsense?
I would love to hear the opinions of people who live in other countries when they hear what Trump has to say, it must not shine a very good light on America.
The original question that the OP asked was, "Why would you vote for Donald Trump?" and i haven't seen ANY actual answers.
Do the local people also choose to live there and by your logic agree to pay taxes in order to be allowed to live there? At what age can you censent to this?
So if at 1 point government decides to end private ownership then that's also not theft? just a 100% tax rate right?
He is calling liberal twats liberal twats and showing how teethless the media and social justice actualy is. I like him just for that alone. He is like the small boy from The Emperor's New Clothes who pointed out that the emperor was naked.

The Founding Fathers upheld the economic view of property. They believed that private property ownership, as defined under common law, pre-existed government. The state and federal governments were the mere contractual agents of the people, not sovereign lords over them. All rights, not specifically delegated to the government, remained with the people–including the common-law provisions of private property.
So..... You're voting for Trump because he's calling liberals out? Really? Your entire basis on voting for the man who's going to lead our country for the next 4 years is because of that? Are you stupid? By your very description you're voting for a troll.
That's just about as stupid as African Americans voting for Obama solely on the basis of him being half black.
You should have a MUCH stronger basis for voting for someone especially when it's THIS important, for example. His foreign policies, his background in economics, his domestic policies, etc etc... Not because he's a troll.
Please don't take offence to what i'm saying, i just feel that you shouldn't vote for someone for such a weird reason.
So you are one of those "Move to Somalia and don't try to change anything" sort of person. I don't see any point in argueing with a brick wall.If I'm living in a specific area, it's because I choose to live there. Because I'm living in that area, I'm agreeing to pay taxes by association. We'd call those people legal entities of the state.
Just like if I'm living in a specific area with specific laws, I'm supposed to abide those laws, otherwise consequences are faced. Saying "I didn't choose to live here", isn't an argument.
Taken at gun point = stolen and there are more taxes than just income tax.Taxes are taken from your income. You'd then be asking, "what age can you start working?", and that answer varies.
Ghast said:We choose whether we want our taxes to be higher or lower when we vote.

Citizens choose the level of these taxes and where they go

Xier0 said:Objectively false. Legislators choose the tax rate. I can't just go to a voting booth and check a box that says "I vote to pay no taxes", then not pay any taxes.
Xier0 said:Then why did you fucking intentionally make the opposite claim if everyone knows this? Literally read what you sourced here below and then re-read above.
Xier0 said:Services they don't ask for. They have to pay regardless of whether or not they use it or not. I can't just send you a bill for products you didn't agree to buy from me. I can't force black people to work on a cotton farm all day if I provide them the services of food and a shanty house if he didn't agree to it.
Xier0 said:How do I consent to giving the government half my money in taxes by living on my own private land and working @ private business?
Xier0 said:You aren't supposed to abide by immoral laws, regardless of your geographic location. Just because it is legal to own slaves on one side of the border and illegal on the other side doesn't mean that people are justified in doing it in the place that does have slavery, even if it is legal. Taxes aren't suddenly moral because I happen to live in an area that is under government conquest.
karilrais said:Taken at gun point = stolen and there are more taxes than just income tax.
You can lose your "private" property if you don't pay the property tax.
karilrais said:My last argument pretty much shows that it's very much possible. Government makes the laws and can tax you at 100%. Is that theft or not? You failed to answer this before.
All laws aren't universal. Most laws have nothing to do with immortality. Laws are specific to the land you're on.
Jesus fuck, can we stop going off topic?
Republicans want to cut taxes from the rich. That is the epitome of shadiness.
You don't have to pay taxes. There are simply consequences if you don't.
False. Government can't end private ownership of property, that's not constitutional.
Xier0 said:If your go-to argument AGAINST a candidate or party is they want to DECREASE stealing, you are in sore need of a correction.
Your justification that taxes are not theft because you receive services in return is not valid. One party is charged regardless of whether or not he uses the services at all.
Your justification that taxes are not theft because people choose to live in a certain place under government subjugation. If I said that women were to blame for being raped because they were in the "wrong place", you would know that is a false statement, because the person #1 responsible for the rape is the rapist. The woman doesn't somehow automatically consent because she happened to be within striking distance of the rapist.
Xier0 said:This is called extortion. A shakedown. A threat.
JSand said:Eminent Domain
You can say the same about rent.
End as in all.
Xier0 said:No you can't. If I choose not to pay rent, I find my door locked when I go to enter my apartment. The difference is that the government locks you inside, and you never agreed to rent from them in the first place.
Xier0 said:This is called extortion. A shakedown. A threat.
Xier0 said:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause <- Government controls all private property exchange with the commerce clause. Courts even ruled that the federal gov't can do this in any state regardless of interstate commerce having to take place. It ended freedom of association in order to forcibly integrate private businesses.
You said:
"If you don't pay your rent, you will be kicked out"
1. That's a threat.
2. A "shakedown"
3. Extortion
Yay, more impractical examples.
Eminent Domain is assessed to devote private property to public or civic use or, in some cases, to economic development. You can't claim this when ending all privatized ownership of property. It's not constitutional.
