A War of All Against All

Mayor Daley of Chicago has enacted the “Tax Whistle Blower Program”, which aims to pit slave against slave, paying those who would tattle on so called tax “cheats”, or those who would dare (perhaps foolishly) to resist and defend themselves against the coercive, violent gun behind state power.
Call me crazy, but seems to me that the only people who could be said to be cheating would be the guy who’s got a gun. If this were a poker game in an old western film, the gun would be in the inevitable scene to follow.
To call those who would try to avoid paying taxes, “cheats”, is to call those who might escape a mugging with money hidden in their shoe, “selfish.” Psychological projection strikes again.
For those who have read Orwell’s famous novel, 1984, this new state tactic of catching a willful and disobedient slave may be disturbingly familiar. This program can only further serve the state by pitting us against each other instead of against those who continue to rob us blind and further enslave us all. The incentive to use the violence of state power against our neighbors, to our own advantage, is stronger than ever, proving once again in brilliant, colorful reality, that it is the state, not statelessness, that leads us to a war of all against all.

A person who would turn their neighbor over to the state is about as vile as you can get. If you’re going to use violence at least have the balls to do it yourself. Don’t sit there hiding in your house on the telephone ratting out your fellow man to big brother. That is just too sickening.
If that wasn’t enough, those hideous euphemisms like “bringing them into compliance” turns my stomach in knots. If I were to show up on my neighbor’s doorstep every two weeks with a pistol aimed, demanding his compliance in giving me my cut of his salary, suddenly I’M the bad guy, now I’M the criminal. THAT’S immoral and wrong, but hey if you’ve got a big fancy office and lots of employees, it’s all cool. Now your victims will define their own value as human beings by how willingly they offer up their money.
