The state is really not your friend: it is the one, unassailable monopoly of the modern world and it must be destroyed or it will.. make slaves of us

Devils Kitchen has another must read post today.

"The tax system makes slaves of us all: we have no option but to pay the tax, and thus we are serfs to our lords and masters. Because they have the law to back up their means of collection, and thus we must pay said taxes whether we wish to use the services provided or not, our lords and masters force other providers out of the market—both through monopoly laws and through ensuring that no one has the money left over to pay competing providers anyway."
