Those poor 1%ers...so coerced in their private jets and mansions. I bet they appreciate having a champion, from the other half, defending their Oblomov-esqe lives.
If there is coercion going on within the system, the 1% are perpetrating it.
And you can literally go anywhere. Just because you were born here doesn't mean you don't have to obey the laws here. Paying your taxes has the same moral status as any other law. The power to coerce is the power to govern....is the basis of all positive law. You've pretended to not like positive law in the past, but you are devoted to it, or otherwise you would follow the libertarian beliefs to their natural conclusion and become a real anarchist.
Not an argument. I do not feel that I should HAVE to go "anywhere" to stop people from stealing from me.

The questions is, given that these tax cuts are going to cost the government money out of the budget, where is that money going to be made up at, and if it isn't being made up for somewhere, what aren't we going to pay for?
I bet this raises the cost of living for 90% of Americans. Trump is basically cutting himself a big check.
In reality, unless the tax code is thrown out the door and replaced with a tax everyone has to pay at least some, I'm not in favor of the current plan. Not lease being that I feel we are already on the "other side" of the Laffer curve and cutting more will lead to less revenue, not more. We can, as a society start worrying about having less revenue when all current and projected spending is funded.
