Its not about opposed to ALL taxes, nor is it about being opposed to "organized" goverment.
So you can say, with absolute precision, that you have never suggested or implied a total removal of taxed?

I believe in a strong national defense, but only with strict limitation to keep them reflective of the will of the people, and for defense only.
There's no such thing as a "defensive" and "offensive" military force. They can be configured to a defensive role, but would still be capable of offensive operations. Furthermore, how would a completely defensive army deal with pre-emptive threats? Would you prefer to wait for the enemy to burn your farms before reacting?

I never mentioned that I don't trust people. Can you provide me with a direct link to a specific quote where I say that?

If you read my post again, you'll notice that I distrust judicial systems based on a disorganised collective, rather than a centralised system.


Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
