The 8 most common political groups in the US (from my observation and experience)

So you actually support voluntary taxation? So if billionaires decide they don't want to pay taxes they just don't have to because... they don't feel like it? Didn't you also support a single payer healthcare system and a large social safety net? I'm sensing some major dissonance.

That was actually one of the few things me and Sanders did not agree on: size of government. Also, my proposition does not require military expenditures disproportional to the needs of our infrastructure. 'Major dissonance', by the way? Look in the damn mirror. Planet Earth is not a playground for your warmongering, genocidal maniac overlords. These are people's lives you're so casually advocating murder of so long as it makes their countries and resources subservient to a totalitarian American dictatorship/oligarchy. Your political views are as abhorrent as that of Paleocon. If not more so.

So who do you think would pay taxes for any of your proposed programs? This is basically a GoFundMe-ocracy.

Eliminating debt slavery is a "proposed program"? Have you ever heard of morality?

You still haven't clarified what "proposed programs" you were referring to.

Let's start with a single payer healthcare system, since I believe you've stated an affinity for it. But it could be any social program: Unemployment, SNAP, public housing, etc.

what about other people's warmongering, genocidal maniac overlords that spring up even worse whenever we do not hold them in check?

You think paying taxes is tantamount to debt slavery?

See: Obama-care and student loan debt, the two combined will be well past any mortgage payment. And before you state student loans are not part of the tax structure, think again.

We build a greater, better world, even if it takes violence. We're the architects of the post-war global order---and for all it's faults there's an astonishing amount to be proud of.

Great. In that case I don't suppose you'll mind being among the first sent out to die for your cause. The imperialism you love so much demands American blood; why not yours, true believer?

What lazy thinking. Even if I was the greatest coward in history it wouldn't have any bearing on the correctness of my ideas or the nobility of my objectives.

My point is obviously that if it cost you anything personally as I'm sure it doesn't, you wouldn't be so gung-ho about asinine, wasteful interventionism. Also that people who foment and promote such disastrous, costly notions should be the first to pay for them, in both money and blood.

As to the 'correctness' of your ideas, they have a pretty lousy track record outside of Korea (WW2 doesn't count as a defensive war) that hasn't improved much lately (Iraq, Libya, Syria).
