This would seem to be an odd question, until you stop and think about it. A thief who gets caught gets punished but, at least in The Netherlands, only gets to serve 2/3 of his sentence if he behaves well while imprisoned. An honest worker on the other hand, when caught, gets to pay his punishment (called: taxes) in full, plus a sanction should he have failed to inform the state that he was working. There's no such sanction on thieves not reporting their crimes. Thus, one could say that working attracts a more severe penalty than stealing.
The Netherlands are a member of the European Union which is becoming increasingly totalitarian. Democracy leads to socialism and socialism leads to a totalitarian state. The average lifetime of a democracy is roughly 200 years. The Dutch democracy has reached that age...

Government is the Problem, not the Solution
Problems cannot be solved by the level of awareness that created them.
Politicians should stop trying to 'make' society. Separation of State and Economy.
Let the Non Aggression Principle prevail!

Law without Government
On YouTube, I found an excellent series of three short videos describing how law without government would work. I've taken the liberty to present them here together. Enjoy.
1) Principles
2) Conflict Resolution
3) The Bargaining Mechanism

Government Explained - Very Clearly!
Disclaimer: The USA is (supposed to be) NOT a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic.
There is a major difference!

Ron Paul - Face to Face
A fairly aggressive but fair interview challenging Ron Paul's stand on American and global politics, by Jon Ralston. Watch how Paul does not fall for suggestive questioning, does not bow down to the aggressiveness. For all who think Ron Paul is unelectable, who think this man will pose a threat to America, this is a must-see interview.
Drop your prejudice, take a step back, sit down and listen to what is being said, not who is saying it. Then, after you have formed your informed opinion, do think about who says it, and how he's consistently been saying this for the past 30 years. I read a response on a blog somewhere recently that sums up what Ron Paul is, and how he's being looked at and thought about. Someone wrote:

Ron Paul appears to be a bit of an odd character, until you start realizing that everything he's said and predicted over the years has the eery tendency to (have) become reality.The exact quote escapes me, but it was something along these lines, and I think that pretty much sums it up.

The REAL State of the Union
Instead of 'low taxes' I'd have preferred the Judge to say 'no taxes', as he is very well aware that taxation is theft, but otherwise there is not a word amiss in this short video. It shows the dire state 'the free west' has come to be in.

What if the perceived differences between Republicans and Democrats are just that: perceived...?
