Yes, because rational thought inevitably leads to being an AC'ist. Coz all the intellectual elite althrough the world believes in AC'ism.

Honestly, you should realize that you simply believe and not know. There is no inevitable "truth" in economics, it's a social science.

A great argument against any centralized, imposed schemes.

If there is no truth, then why can't I/aren't I be left free?

So, there's no truth in social sciences--why is that? Is there truth in natural sciences like physics? What about math?

Well then what's the difference between supporting taxes and voting? You say you yourself do not believe voting to be OK in self-defense

I do believe voting is ok in self-defense...

But to believe voting is OK in self-defense but supporting taxes never can be doesn't seem to have much consistency.

Why not? (Seriously, I'm curious as to why you think this position is inconsistent...)

I mean, voting as a means to get a candidate who will violate our rights less seems fine (whether or not its effective is another matter, but I don't find it inconsistent with libertarian principles).
I'm not sure how the same could be said of supporting taxes, though...

Oh boy, here we go. Endless discussion about science theory and the discovery of truth to follow :P
