Telling people to move away from the people stealing from them being countered by stating they're not necessarily legitimate is hardly a straw man.


Now you're just randomly throwing ideas out that don't really have anything to do with what I posted.

Kind of like how you just randomly threw out polygamy and objectification of women in that marriage thread? When it wasn't even being argued.. did that make you feel smart?

do you think you wouldn't get taxed if you were paid in a different currency? who created the money isn't important for what Sowell said.
then I can pay a toll for the roads or other infrastructure I use. The infrastructure doesn't make up much of the budget, this is again irrelevant to what Sowell said.
again, you can pay for this service directly, and again irrelevant to what Sowell said.

You should try directly refuting what Sowell said which is "Why it is greed to to want to keep the money you earned, but not greed to want to take someone else's money?"

What Sowell said is a giant straw-man, so I addressed the underlying philosophy behind it.

There's no point in engaging his words as they're written. It would be like engaging a creationist in terms of "How can evolutionists believe a rock evolved into a human eyeball!". It would be totally unproductive because nobody actually believes what is claimed.
