Taxation Is Only One Means And Has Its Limits.

The idea that all taxation should be local is such an incredibly powerful principle.

The natural 'world order' does not imply anything political. People all over the world and cultures around the world functioning within the constraints of liberty (the right to own property in all of its forms implies the responsibility to respect property rights) can and will function without a parasitic class.


The freedom to travel and to move will be all that is necessary to prevent taxation from becoming excessive. If taxation in a particular place is the best means to accomplish a goal then those who want to achieve that goal will be willing to pay the tax.

If that happens to be a correct or an incorrect assessment, it will soon be discovered because people in pursuit of prosperity will either come or go.

Without any coercive parasitic class taxation will simply be one choice, one means to attain an ends. For example, two neighboring communities may decide that connecting these communities with a rail line would be beneficial. To accomplish this they could decide to tax everyone to provide a capital fund for entrepreneurs to use. The farther away someone lives the less likely they are to benefit and the less likely they are to agree to paying a tax.

If taxation is rejected a rail line may still be developed by other means if it truly is something that will beneficial. If taxation is accepted it will only remain in tact if it is unburdensome and if there is evidence that it is productive.

The idea that all taxation should be local is such an incredibly powerful principle.
