Anyone who down votes, happy to be proved wrong. Very simple test: don't pay and see what happens.

If you steal someone's golf money and use it to save 100 lives, is there no morality in that?
Re:Moving Forward on Basic Income by tsmffh on Wednesday June 01, 2016 @12:30AM (#11812055)
That's still immoral.

If you're worried about the public good, there are nonviolent and consensual means of cooperation that I believe would make all of us far more prosperous than today.

You mean like voting for a government that sets a tax policy?
Re:Moving Forward on Basic Income by tsmffh on Wednesday June 01, 2016 @07:38AM (#11813568)
How is tax policy enforced? (Hint: force, not peace)

How do your "nonviolent and consensual means of cooperation" deal with free riders? Hint: force, or the whole thing fails.
