Isn't enlightenment wonderful? Now you can go vote for Bernie Sanders without feeling guilty.

scott richardson I need government roads to sell you something because i don't think you are going to walk through the woods to get to my house and lug it home with you. I also need goverment backed currency to sell you something otherwise it is a barter exchange and you have to have something I value and need to trade for the thing I have. So yes you need governments. I also need police to enforce the rule of law to sell you something otherwise you will simply come in the middle of the night or with a gun and take it without giving me anything of value in return.

@cf6713 the top 20% get over 90% of the income in the USA so ofcourse they pay a higher percentage of the gross taxes. But if you look at the taxes per percentage of earning the wealthy actually pay a lower percentage of their earning in taxes.

@baldiedash1 fair enough

scott richardson I did make my point I gave you an example of a country which has the lack of government you crave.

@cf6713 I can show you many examples of failed states with no government where people are infact murderous and abusive to other people. So please show me one example of a successful peaceful anarchist region on planet earth I will wait.

@darthnews you keep hoping. But I wouldn't bet against Bernie Sanders if he wins the primary Trump is toast in the general election. 55% to 45% in the latest polls.

chris widney when the money runs out we might have to only spend as much as the next 9 countries combined on the military instead of the next 10. We might even get so radical as to stop fighting forever wars. Somehow people never seem to ask how will we pay for the ever increasing military budget.

@roger6672 you mean socialism like the healthy well educated societies in Scandinavia. Sure we wouldn't want to end up like them happy and not ruled by fear mongering.

@roger6672 Bernie Sanders understand ecominic better then you do for sure. He understands that we pay twice per capita then other countries for our current for profit system. Single payer healthcare is proven the world over to save money if you can't understand that you are the one who doesn't understand ecominics.

@glennimmortal Your comment make no since. Because socialism is a political theory by definition you have to have a government to have anything political. You also need a government to have any form of functioning economy so for the same reason you can't have capitalism without a government. so·cial·ism /ˈsōSHəˌlizəm/ Learn to pronounce noun a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole
