Worst Idea Ever. You'd think that by now extreme socialists and communists would look at the worst countries on the planet and think "Hey, maybe this isnt a great idea"

Right now, this very minute, ANYONE can create a worker-owned business. The workers can own the entire market share the business holds. There are zero laws against this. Why doesnt this happen more often? Why doesn't this happen beyond a bakery or a small advertising business?

A few years ago, Carrier left the US. The closed down a plant. There was the ENTIRE means of production there and workers out of work. Did they go in and fire up the machines and start producing air conditioners? No. They walked in circles angry about the loss of their job.

Every single government is in debt to its people. Every single government has policymakers who are non-expert in the fields for which they are making policies. Warmongers and psychopaths, who think they are in a position to know how people on the other side of the country and the world should live? and you think its a good idea to give them MORE control?

This idea was idiotic, 100 years ago, and remains as idiotic today as then.

We ABSOLUTELY can get rid of taxes. If you want no taxes, no cronyism, no nepotism, no lobbyists, no controls by psychopaths, then you are correct - no taxes. Voluntary governance.

And if you want to own parts of markets, go do the work to own parts of markets. The same people who cry about business having monopolies are the same ones who want the government to have a monopoly. It's a totally insane position, especially given the examples of people who go to be leaders in govenrment.

The people you are scared of are rich BECAUSE governments are concentrations of cash and attract them. Do you seriously think, despite the entire history of humankind demonstrating the opposite, that rich people and psychopaths won't flock to an INCREASED source of money to benefit themselves? You have a completely warped view of how rich people on that scale, get rich.
