While the first option is ridiculous, the second option is even more so.

Making us choose between Completely Retarded Idea and Batsh*t Insanely Pathetically Stupid Idea So Absurd That Even A Mentally Challenged 2-Years Old Kid Will Find It Retarded won't give Completely Retarded Idea more credibility, you know.

Abolish all taxation and let the wonders of Darwinism take full tuition.

Human morality be damned.

On that choice, abolish all taxation and use tariffs.

A tariff is by definition a tax.

However, lotteries and other non-mandatory user fees for state-owned industries could exist.

Obviously the first choice is the only one which would at least lead to some form of survival.  But naturally I would also deny all government services including police protection from those over 200K.

I'm sure there is a cunning plan to demonstrate our unlibertarian foolishness here, we just don't see it.

Option 1, which is the most sensible of two utterly silly ideas.

What's the moral distinction between people being arrested, forcibly removed or even killed (potentially, if every other option has been exhausted as you're fond of pointing out) for not paying for a service like toll roads.. And the status quo of involuntary taxation? I'm not really seeing much of one especially when you're dependent on that service either way.

Well, obviously that's almost or even equally as wrong, it's just not *technically* "taxation," per se.

Opebo has it right on this one. Choose the first option and then let the poors take from the rich by force.

Obviously this is a ridiculous ass poll. When is Wormyguy scheduled to be banned again?

If that's your distinction, tariffs are also voluntary. You aren't required to import goods; you could produce them domestically.
