Contemptible misrepresentation. How are corpor-
ations "benefiting"more from a workforce (mis)educated
by the government than they would be from work-
ers educated in privately-funded schools in a free-
enterprise system? And that about corporations
receiving big refunds? They wouldn't have got-
ten those refunds unless they had paid huge
taxes in the first place, would they? And as to
barriers to success, I don't think they would be
as huge or as rigid under a free, really free en-
terprise system as they are under the govern-
ment obstructions we have now.
As to paying voluntarily for the really proper
functions of government (which are mighty few)
that could be done in several ways; by contract
premiums at notarization (as Ayn Rand re-
marked in "Government Financing in a Free So-
ciety"; also by lotteries), and also, something
like the present sales tax, although voluntary;
simply tell the storeowner that if he doesn't
choose to pay it, the store's address will be put
into a computer, and if it is held up and he dials
911, he will be listed as having refused to co-
operate and he won't get the benefit of police
protection in that store; also, he won't get to
put the sticker in his window which states that
it is a store under police protections. Tradesmen
would mainly pay such a Law-Enforcement Fee
readily enough; especially as they wouldn't have
to put up with their money being poured down
such avenues as it is now.---But some people
don't care anything about justice or the truth.
