No it's not, and it ought to be - so why not fix THAT instead of not only Feeding the Beast, but giving it OmegaSteroids™?

Taxation. Inherently Amoral. Equivalent to Theft by Force.
Sick of Repeating Self to Fuckwits.
Also: Taxed measures are voted upon, therefore, taxpayers have opinions.
But the system used is Democracy, and Democracy sucks because it's inherently vulnerable to moralism, populism, and fuckwits.
At least one person here recognizes this.
Thanks for actually being logical.
Not my problem. Any solution you would propose to that would require inherent coercion.
* I try not to, they suck. Private Toll Roads are 10x better.
*I would never send my offspring to one of those brainwashing shit factories if my very life depended on it.
*I buy my books.
*Would love to - heard of SeaSteading?
No, those things would all exist, you'd just have to actually pay for them.

And those mandates are just as inherently amoral and stupid.
More mandates are not a solution.
We can't get to London by going to the South Pole, even if the plane's faster.
I don't need one, thanks!
But it shouldn't be covered by your tax money, either.
Taxation is inherently amoral. It's theft. That's why you hate
when your money goes to things you hate or disagree with - it's the same principle.
Logic!
I don't care if you are or are not a slut. Really don't.
I'm a Libertarian for fuck's sake - does your decision directly affect me?
Right now it does, because you want my money and you want to force me into the same risk pools.
But the decision itself I might have an opinion on, but don't really care.
It's the only option because the only reason Health Insurance exists as it is today is because of YET MORE MANDATES - WWII wage freezes.
The Government then extended a tax break to Employers who provided it and that's why it stuck around after the war.
If you offered individuals the same discount, it's suddenly sixes as…
You shouldn't.
Taxation is inherently amoral.
But you won't know how to respond to that one without making:
Copypasta:
That's actually my point - decouple it.
So, I'm just gonna copypasta now because fuckwits can't read.
Nope. And that's actually my point - decouple it.
Health Insurance is not a right, it's a product.
You have a right to spend your money to buy the product that suits your needs.
But then people had to go write laws that MANDATE shit, and when you MANDATE, you take away people's agency but still demand their money.
People tend to get pissed about that.
I am, as I have said 3 times, in favor of a FREE MARKET solution. That means no mandates for ANYONE, not me, not you, not employers.
You could then buy coverage that met your needs, and keep everyone else out of your decisions.
When you ask someone to pay for something, or worse, use force or law to COMPEL them to pay…
Not repeating what I said, already answered this fallacious bullshit in another reply.
You're wrong.
Nope. And that's actually my point - decouple it.
Allow the same tax breaks to individuals that businesses get, businesses would give their employees a raise, and in a FREE market [not Obamacare] you as an individual could then choose a plan that suited your needs, without necessitating the tacit approval of those who…
That could be because you and your ilk keep expanding the meaning of that word exponentially.
Let the hate wave commence, I come bearing lux et veritas.
Good Day.
Because that's tyrannical bullshit.
If my money goes to something, I have a say in it - that means if it's tax money,
you damn well bet I have a say, and I have an opinion.
And that means if I am the one footing the goddamn bill for your coverage, I have
an inherent right to choose what coverage I buy.
Freedom of…
