"amassing currency to purchase imported goods without a line of credit" is not a human right.

I'm sad that tariffs mean I can't bring in dirt cheap liquor from the Caribbean to sell for massive profits but that's not an excuse to not pay my taxes.

I disagree, it is if you need the goods to buy supplies for you to work.

If I need syringes to work, national syringes costs 3 usd a pack (and they are out of stock) and I can get the same pack for 85 cents in Chile, I'll exchange pesos crocante for dolar blue, cross the border to Chile and get them there.

I wouldn't call it human right, but the idea of amass currency to buy goods seems pretty essential for our modern life.

Although it's sad that tariffs make selling cheap liquor unprofitable in your country, I think we're thinking about different scales of income.

If you can't afford to:

* pay a living wage

* pay your taxes

* comply with health, safety, and employment regulations

* comply with all the other laws (this is a crypto thread, so that includes weapons laws, securities laws, international sanctions, and so many more)

Then you don't have a valid business. You have no inherent right to run whatever business you think you want to.

Also, to your immediate claim, I do not believe you.

What I can't afford is to deal with a regressive tax legislation [], while trying to get US currency in the black market [2] to save and pay for imported goods and without a line of credit because the rate is ~190% and inflation ~130% [3].

I do pay my taxes, also think high worth individuals should be subject of taxation, but your rigid framework leaves out many people that use crypto as their only way to get paid and/or save money because traditional banking system is broken in their countries.

Drop the persecution complex. You're being asked to pay taxes, not commit genocide.

If I pay taxes I can't pay wages.

Wow you.. really shot your argument in the foot. All those unjust laws were, you know, changed. They weren’t evaded. And there are mechanisms to challenge laws you don’t like that don’t involve simply deciding you’re not going to obey them. But those mechanisms involve real costs that tend to blow away the moralising of most crypto bros.

If those unjust laws were changed what makes you think that regressive tax laws that keep coming up year after year won't be changed in the future?

>And there are mechanisms to challenge laws you don’t like that don’t involve simply deciding you’re not going to obey them.

I'm curious about those mechanism to challenge laws.

I suspect that you misunderstood my point. My point is that if you are doing something that is against the law, then it's against the law by definition. It's just logic, not cultural bias.

I'm not commenting on whether this particular case of lawbreaking is morally supportable or not. Even if it's 100% morally justified, it's still lawbreaking.

vaxintar · 2 years ago
Ahh, now I got you.

Perhaps it's against the written law, but I think in most countries I am aware of, laws are subject to the judges' interpretation.

To starve the government financially, through mechanisms of tax evasion.

As a very last resource, because again, I do not condone crimes, but: When tyrants rule, it's our human right to disobey.

Would you accept to be subservient to a power structure that doesn't work for you? For the "We The People"? Vote them away yes, given voting is not a deceptive theatrical show like it is in Venezuela. So, what are the other alternatives? Ruling out violence of course.

vaxintar · 2 years ago
I think tax evasion won't ever work as mechanism to fight tyrannical governments because it's your neighbor who suffer the lack of funds, not the ruling class.

> If you think that's a crime you are delusional about the uses of money

Tax evasion is against the law and therefore is objectively a crime. Whether or not the law is good is a different discussion entirely.

Maybe you have a heavy US centric point of view?

I don't condone tax evasion, but if I can't work because the State wants to go broke before I can even start running my business sorry but no one will do it.

You're evading taxes and worker protection laws. Congrats I guess? If your business model is dependent on flouting the law, then maybe it's time to rethink the business model.

???

The workers are the ones who can't get a job because of the "worker protection laws" you evoke, so you clearly don't understand the problems of Latin America.

This structure only gives them an incentive to travel hundreds of kilometers to a ranch where a bovine died for unknown reasons, for amounts that a western european would spend in a single take-out dinner.
