What if the person is being paid as an independent contractor? The employer doesn't pay those payroll taxes and the pay is subtracted from profit and not taxed; therefore, the employer pays no taxes on it.

It's the principle of the thing, which is exactly why it completely escapes Progressives.
Which I'm sure is your position on all taxes, along with a bunch of other "taxes are theft" types on this forum, who sound even more childish than the "safe haven" PC types they also seem to despise so much.

Spoken: top 5%er.

Thank you.
Of course, the alterative is the third world hellhole you want to create with a dozen super rich families owning you. Libertarians dont even believe in democracy. Any person who supports libertarianism while just being an ordinary working stiff cant be taken seriously.

The employer doesn't pay taxes bc that's not an employee. The IC pays taxes on the money they receive.

I'm not an anarchist and I believe people need to pay taxes. Now what are ya gonna do? You haven't the slightest idea what I am talking about.

I despise the both of you. Why? Because both of you want someone else to pay for your crap. The progressives turn on their beds like a door swinging on its hinges, as Solomon would say , and the 1% want someone else to pay for their insurance premiums and to have a corp of slaves to repair their property. Just ask Turgot would couldn't save France because it was a country full of leeches. .

Progressives want to take ownership of everything while simultaneously arguing the nobody else really actually owns anything.

The progressive are partly correct, and party full of crap.

Without da guberment, there is not "private property"?




open land

-------------------
public land
private property




Blow the dotted line is the purview of the sovereign. Is the house in the woods worth more in the domain of a secure state or worth more at the battle front of invading Mongol Hoards?

You are just like the progressives....*shakes head* at your love of da guberment nipple, squealing like a progressive.

If you dont like taxes, get off the internet, the computer and everything else the taxpayer has developed through public research. Funny how people who hate taxes love the internet, computer, vaccination programs, public roads and nuclear power. We wouldnt even have landed on the moon if you had your way. Just constant groveling of the super rich who laugh at people who work as shills for them without pay.

Your apprehension of a libertarian of nature is correct. The advanced stage of libertarianism is generally Pottersville. If one man owns the whole island, he is in effect a lord or king. It is in fact a government of unmatched totalitarianism.

They are very much at odds with Geolibertarians.
