    Lol they need to read a history book, that will just end up with arsonists working for the fire departments like the early days of firefighting in most large American cities

      Libertarians don’t care about history. They don’t care about practicality. All they care about is not paying taxes for any reason.

      You can even ask them to name a single country in the history of money that didn’t have taxation. They can’t, because there isn’t one. But they don’t want a moneyless society either.

        Not just taxes, they want all the benefits of society without contributing to it at all. They want to be able to do whatever they want without consequence. They’re literal freeloaders pretending to be “free people.”

      Or like ancient Rome where Cressus would show up to your burning house/business with his fire brigade, and offer to put it out only after you agreed to sell it to him. Think quick, cause the clock is ticking and the price is dropping every second
