Being able to make provision for family or friends has everything to do with freedom. Freedom is: To live free from force and threats of force.

If a person is to make a will stating that their assets will be (for eg) handed to their children on their death how do you suppose the state bureaurats are going to get their filthy hands on it? They will have to legalise the theft and then take that property from the benefactors, and if the benefactors say "No, we have this document as proof this is our property." The state bureaurats will enlist the services of the state thugs to remove the property by force.

So, then, all taxes could be considered attacks on freedom. And of course you can't put people in jail, as this would be using force. The only truly free society, where there is no force or threat of force from the government, is complete anarchy, which in the real world would break down very quickly. In order to live in a stable society, people must accept restrictions on their freedom, one of which in a democratic society is taxes. Maybe you would rather live in complete anarchy, but I think the rest of us would rather not.

If you realise what it is to live free, that you have a right to live free then a corollary of this is that your neighbour has a right to live free also.

Anarchy? No.

So you don't own anything? Or what you do have you stole it?

BTW the intro is a ten minute flash vid, your post is less than ten minutes after mine so you're letting the diarhoea flow again. Commenting even though you don't know what you're commenting on.

I didnt look at something off a website with the words free market on because I think it might have a slight ideological bias.

Wedgie, you come over as one of the typical failures with a grudge who constitute the 'backbone' of the Labour Party.

Old labour. And I ain't old enough to be a failure with grudges.

I'm just saying that total freedom = anarchy. 😛
