And cops should never arrest anyone unless it is their own desire to be arrested.

You mean like when Jesus was arrested?
Seriously though Ravi,
I'm glad to see that we are in agreement that invoking the golden rule in regards to government policymaking and lawmaking is naive at best and totally off the reservation retarded at worst.
Pretty amazing, isn't it?
But...what if you want to live in a society that taxes you? Isn't it your choice to be taxed as a condition of living in the society? I'm not sure if taxation violates the golden rule.
If everyone agrees unanimously, at one time, exactly what will be taxed, how much, and what it will be spent on, then maybe. But since that is entirely unrealistic, I'd say that technically it does violate it. No matter what, there will always be at least somebody who would rather keep their money and do without the service.
What's to stop them? It would be difficult, but you could stop working and not pay any income tax. Or you could live in a cave and live off berries and tree bark and avoid sales tax. The homeless probably don't have to pay any taxes...
Ahhh, so forcing people into caves and/or economic destitution is your idea of following the golden rule. How very compassionate of you.
Some choice. Gimme your wages or don't earn any.
No, technically you're completely wrong. You're just trying to exploit a loophole that doesn't really exist. There is NO choice involved.
You haven't made your case. I've given you three choices...there is no force involved.
mmkay. The golden rule is treat others as you want to be treated. So if I want to tax you if you make above a certain amount and I'll happily be taxed if I make above the same amount, how am I not keeping to the golden rule?
So if I don't mind others trying to beat and rob me, I can do the same to you and I'm keeping the golden rule.
Seriously, quit being a retarded assclown. It's decidedly beneath you... or so I thought.
