That's a pretty big call. One thing I'm wondering though, is what do you think government actually is? I'm not trying to deflect you with semantics. What is it that separates a government from say a large, successful 'capitalist' corporation? One that specialises in the mental control and direction of a particular group of people? And, more importantly, who defines what 'the government' is and isn't actually designed for?

its all things that wouldnt be needed if you gave people their flipping taxes back to them. take it this way, lets say we keep the current military budget, expand education and transport (which includes shipping). even leaving a total coverage of 33% taxes, that means that if a person was earning a net value of ten dollars under the current system, they only get a total of 2.50 an hour, while under the new system, people would be getting 6.60 an hour. now, thats close to three times as much. if you were getting to pocket three times as much, how do you think you'd be doing in the world right now?

So do you think prices and money supply would stabilize without government interference? Remember I'm asking you this in all earnestness. Don't take my questions as personal attacks.
