Why is it funny? Regardless of how anti-government you are, you're already have a contract with government: they take your money and give you protection. You wish to change this contract, may be even spend time and effort in political activity to get it changed, but it's still there.
The fact that you express your desire to change your contract with somebody does not give them any (moral or legal) right to not follow the contract if it is not yet changed. And especially if, despite your wish to change it, you still follow your side of the contract (pay taxes).
- belltaco 4y agoIt's funny because their argument for pushing crypto is that govt is bad, taxation is theft, so govt needs to be circumvented financially in favor of a libertarian utopia with zero taxes so that govt can be crippled. Why would you want to take help from something you think is a terrible influence on the world? It comes off as selfish, capitalism and tax avoidance and even evasion when it suits you and socialism when you need help.
