True. They would. And when they start forcing people to work at the point of a gun don’t you think the collapse will already have happened and the only way out will be to move away from Altruism towards Individualism. America was founded on Individualism but it did not practice it fully and consistently. Slavery is probably the best example. Had we as a society moved more and more towards practicing Individualism where would we be today? It was after slavery was abolished that America saw the greatest expansion but in the latter part of the 19th century there was a movement towards Altruism and “progressivism” and we are seeing the result today.

Slavery was never abolished. They've just chosen a different group of people to labor for them.

Tax payers are forced to support the freeloaders BEFORE they even get their paychecks. The cash is deducted BEFORE the paper is printed. The tax slaves get to keep what little is left over to support their own families. If that isn't slavery, I don't know what is.

No man should be used as another mans slave. Isn't it time the slackers earned their own keep like the rest of us? Why do we keep voluntarily supporting the politicians who steal from us through out voluntary taxes? Why give them any more than we absolutely have to? It's self defeating.
