The contracted company is arranged and paid for by the government via our taxes. Are you going to collect money from everyone in your community and then arrange for infrastructure to be built and maintained? Because then you’d be government

No, I'm not and don't believe it's necessary. I believe it's morally wrong to extort people using coercion and the threat of violence no matter the justification. Government has nothing that it hasn't taken from others and exists only to manipulate and force people to the will of corrupt politicians. It's a very uncivilized society.

K, so who’s gonna build and maintain infrastructure so that free trade can exist?

Corporations are a creation of the state, but there's no reason businesses can't join together and maintain roadways. The transportation industry can take over most roadways and maintain them in order to move their goods. The same people that actually build and maintain the roads now can still build and maintain the roads. The price of maintaining the roads will be passed on to the consumer equally and without corrupt government. No theft, no coercion, is necessary for a peaceful and voluntary society.

I don't trust either one. Why do you insist upon stealing from others and using government to manipulate others to the will of corrupt politicians?

It’s supposed to be crowd funding for supplying community food and services, but you’re right, too much of our money goes towards an inflated military budget.

100% agree with money not going where it should. Between the military and the politicians getting rich off of the corruption it's completely unacceptable and not something I can support.
