Hersh, et al.
I must confess to a slight bit of duplicity with the earlier posts, and my reasons for doing so will be made clear below….
There’s a certain….comfortable predictability about ‘poly in general, and the OT in particular, and that is, as soon as anyone makes ANY sort of statement, you can rest assured that someone will come along to refute it.
I could post that the sky was blue, and before many minutes had passed, as sure as I am sitting here typing now, someone would crawl out of some corner of ‘poly’s OT to post a contrary statement.
Every time. Guaranteed.
When I first saw the topic, it had sunk to page four, and….that was a pity, cos it’s a good topic.
I think, given the number of colorful Cap/Com debates I’ve participated in, and my positions IN those debates, and given the number of times I’ve gone rounds with DF and others about the subject of taxation, that my position is fairly clear, and in support of our current system, so….I decided it’d be fun to play Devil’s Advocate…see things from the other team’s perspective.
Trouble was, most of the mainstream stuff I was finding on the ‘net was decidedly NOT in favor of their arguments, so I had to go further afield to….shall we say, more “libertarian” oriented sites.
Came across a BEAUTY of a site, hawking a “kit” which purported to legally “break the paper chains” that the IRS has us all by the short and curly’s with, and figured it’d be fun to post here to see the reaction and response from “my side,” because I do not have a legal background, and though the essay in question didn’t sit right with my brain, I could not say why….I’m happy to report that ‘poly’s predictability worked exactly as hoped, and I got my answer….
I’m 100% certain you’ll have a field day with the essay as a whole, Hersh, and you’ll find the link to it (complete with its eventual sales pitch) below….enjoy, and thank you, 'poly OT...a marvellous and successful experiment!
