This is true, societies could choose to be less free. Alternatively, societies could choose to be more free.
I would rather my society be more free than it currently is, rather than less free.
- guhidalg 4y agoYa this is true but who’s gonna pay for the roads and the schools and the cops? Not the people with art in freeports.
- yunohn 4y agoWhat’s “more free” about a legal loophole that allows million/billionaires to hoard art for speculative gains, while avoiding being taxed on them like everyone else?
- rufus_foreman 4y agoYou're asking what is more free about allowing someone to do something than mandating that they do something else.
- yunohn 4y ago“someone to do something” In this phrase, “someone” are only million/billionaires (1%) and “something” is avoid taxes on a niche, speculation on art. Not sure how that is much of a freedom to be honest.
