And here we go again. It would seem that as of latterly we are continuously forced to use the "E" word, and you knowhow this must upset us. It would seem that people "out there" are obsessed with finding ethical flaws in Libertarianism, particularly in ours. It would seem that as they cannot attack our flavour of Libertarianism because its only moral code is "leave people alone to decide by…

INTRODUCTION
Some time ago we published the article The Leadership Barrierwhere we explained one of the reasons why the evolution towards Libertarianism was so hard. This was so because Libertarianism demands from each and every one of us to be a leader of a pack of one. You. However, biologically speaking, most of us are pack animals, which means that we are much better suited to follow than to lead. If…

Why this article? Why now?
Because it's been a few months since the movie was first shown.
Because it is of critical importance for you to understand how they operate.
Because it will only get worse.
We won't comment on the movie. We will let a few excerpts speak by themselves. If these small snippets don't scare the living daylights out of you, then you are probably unconscious. Or dead.…

THE PROBLEM WITH TAXATION
Taxes are always downplayed or explained away as a "Robin Hood" process; steal from the rich and give to the poor. Who can be against this? Well… we for several!
With this kind of propaganda is no wonder that anybody speaking against taxes has a difficult time doing so. The idea is that anybody being against taxation is either a rich person or is being paid…

Yes, we screwed-up. Our dedicated army of editorial and tech support hamsters made a bu-bu. The first part of the article "How Taxes Destroy Capital And Why This Is Bad" was repeated twice and as if this would not be bad enough, it was published on the same day and out of order! Oh…well… It happens.
All better now… we hope.
Apologies all around.
After all, please do remember that…

NOT THE WHOLE STORY
But the story does not end here. We need to follow the full cycle in order to understand what is happening and how taxes are further damaging. Let's see if we can do just that:
- People work and have profits.
- Part of those profits are stolen through taxation.
- State spends taxes.
- People have less profits thus they save less.

This article is a little bit on the theoretical side thus we ask for apologies in advance, although we promise to make it as easy as possible to understand. One of the themes we have been grunting about since… well… ever… is that taxes are evil, evil, evil because they are the devil's work! Mwahahahaha... Oh. No. Sorry. That wasn't it. Sometimes we mix-up the appointments of our Libertarian and…
