Okay, see, THAT RIGHT THERE, that's you attempting to dismiss me or any argument I make as just "stupid" or "moronic". You're not even giving my viewpoint, my political opinions the respect they deserve by addressing them fairly when you do this.

And you haven't addressed my question: Why does government HAVE TO assume the role of "Every-Service-Imaginable Provider"? If they were to ELIMINATE extraneous programs, then they wouldn't NEED to tax us out the ass. Take for example the Post Office: A stamp is a tax. Why should we PAY to send a message to someone and wait several days for it to arrive when we have Email Providers who can send mail INSTANTLY and FOR FREE? Money in the mail? PayPal. Electronic Money Transfer. Packages? Well, we've got businesses that CAN BE HELD FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR A PACKAGE LOSS, and they can move packages just as cheaply and quickly as the Post Office does. IN FACT, these companies COMPETE for your business, so they do it cheaper, faster, safer, and more reliably than the last guy. So why is the government raping us over a barrel for our money to pay for an outdated service?

Yes of course I dismissed it. If you cannot see in our current state how the pay gap is affecting us, and you think it is immoral for other voters to vote to try to change laws to do things differently then all you are saying is that you know what is best for everyone else. All that advocates is "It is right when I get what I want, but theft when other people vote".

Wow, that strawman burned brightly and beautifully.

Try again. Libertarians are generally against a classed society. The community makes the rules as a whole in a Free Market Society. TAXES are a different thing from LAWS, I'm not sure whose ass you had to fist to get that shit. Taxes is the ruling body stealing your labor for services you don't want. Now try to tell me how crazy I am for only wanting to buy stuff I want.

I can certainly see how you think the pay gap is affecting society, but quite frankly, IT'S NOT A PAY GAP ISSUE. It's a CORRUPTION issue. Corporations sponsor politicians, and those politicians attempt to make the economy friendlier for their financial backers. If you think "The People" even have a voice in government anymore, you've deluded yourself. The ones controlling the government are the corporations who can afford to field a politician. This has nothing to do with "pay gap". But hey, if you want to keep worshiping your god, The State, go right on ahead.

AND FOR FUCK'S SAKE, ANSWER MY GODDAMN QUESTION!
