Atlas Shrugged is definitely now non-fiction. Surreal.

    I'm intrigued by the possibility of no compulsory taxes, of gov't somehow being funded all by fees and voluntary donations.

    I know that's not what's happening here, but if people will pay voluntarily, does that mean maybe a society could exist with a functioning gov't but not taxes?

    As quick as I clicked the link and saw the expression on that premiere's face, I laughed.
    I could not think of a better photo to express the natural outcome of socialism, an end game already long known the world over by people who are not pinheads.
    Sooner or later, you run out of other people's money~.Margarette Thatcher said that.

    This is the same country that voted in a new liberal government that promised more debit and voted out a conservative government that had been cutting programs and reducing deficits.....why is anyone shocked.

    This after they have spent years ruining the economy of the province and lying about it. Typical idiotic liberal government. Only understand one thing. Spend as much as you don’t have and more.

    Voluntarily giving money to a government is like giving money to a thief so he can buy a truck to better steal your stuff.

    Go socialists, go! Give us more demonstrations of the failure of this economic model, before we elect our next leader!

    Oh, I'm sure that's the first thing that occurred to the great minds that made this "request" of their citizens.

    I find it so odd that the average person falls for this self-sacrificing poppycock...and never think twice about the fact that their paternal leaders have received some kind of a self-sacrifice dispensation.
