I don't understand where this thread is going or what any of it has to do with Ron Paul or this book.

Ad-Hom territory, methinks.

Wow. Was I ever off. I thought you were sucking off your parents and/or the state while in school.

No. The job I mentioned is a part-time job. I also work as a tax collector and am a member of local socialist party.

Now, what do you think about Merck ? I'm sure the children of Merck's CEO will starve if the company doesn't get the state to force people to buy their products.

"With a price tag of $360 for a series of three shots, mandatory vaccination would be quite a boon for Merck. If all sixth-grade girls were vaccinated, the company could reap over $29 million a year in Michigan alone."

What do you think LibertyStudent ?

I don't think you are a 6th grade girl, but if you really want an injection, we can arrange one.

That does not make ownership illegitimate.

So then some thieves and owners of stolen goods should be allowed to keep their stolen goods?

Hey if you want to try to take their stuff, good luck.

Thanks. It should be easy. If we throw down the government and say, "Congratulations, the computer at your desk is yours," pretty much everyone would take it. I don't know about OLD folks, but folks under 30, like myself, are pretty well fed up and pissed off, even if most of us don't know what to do about it.

Most business owners in the US only own corporations and dollars. Since both are legal artifacts, state fictions, that would disappear with the state, the property they once "owned" would rigtfully be (and are already!) homesteadable.

A corporation is a fiction. A fiction is incapable of ownership. Only individual humans are capable of ownership. By the systems the corporatists themselves have established for their protection and enrichment, they have knowingly ceded their property to nonexistent entities. Thus, they are actually unowned. Savvy?

I see. Business owners have no choice but to lobby for regulations to crush competition. Otherwise they couldn't afford an island in the Caribbean and a Rolls Royce - such items are, of course, essential for their 'survival'.

And what do you do for a living Juan?

Unnecessary. I basically live off the government, so it would end up at me anyway.

Exactly. If they do nothing competitors will.
