It's privatization of tax collection; a Randian/Thatcherite dream.

• mistermann 13y ago
  Collection of taxes being private, and the fairness of the rules are two entirely different things. "Randian/Thatcherite dream"...as if they want people to lose their houses. You are very misinformed on Objectivist principles.

    The principles emphasize process over outcome. So it's not that they want people to lose their homes, but if things happen the 'right' way and that's the outcome, so be it.

      Actually, they don't emphasize process, they emphasize who does it, and what is done. Objectivism prefers the government not to handle most anything, but would never advocate people losing their property over a minor tax bill - that is theft, a very big no-no in Objectivism.

        > they emphasize who does it, and what is done Yea, that's what process usually entails. I don't see outcome in that list.

          > I don't see outcome in that list. Well, property is sacred in Objectivism and "stealing" is a deadly sin. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether taking someone's home over a tiny unpaid tax bill would be considered stealing. (Hint: it is.)

            …and thus the internal contradictions inherent in Objectivism are laid bare.
