When you hear "dangerous goods," you immediately want to think that they may contain highly corrosive or toxic ingredients, which is true! But it can also be products that we use daily, such as laptops, phones, or any devices that require batteries, household cleaning products, all kinds of aerosols, or cosmetics. Any product containing harmful chemicals falls into the category of "hazardous materials. In any case, you need to know that there is always an opportunity to deliver this product, just another company will handle the delivery. The most important thing is to track your product using the track speed pack continuously.

Tax. It’s always about tax. Making everyday life more complicated and onerous just so that they get every dollar of tax they possibly can. And getting more and more taxes from non-income items just to hide the true burden of tax that we all pay.

I took a break from working for a year in the UK and on zero income my tax bill was about £12,000. VAT, fuel duty, VAT on fuel duty, tobacco duty, VAT on tobacco duty, alcohol duty, VAT on alcohol duty, road tax, tax on interest on whatever is left of your money after the other taxes even though the interest is less than inflation and not really income, tax on dividends which are really just interest and already after corporation tax and employers’ salary taxes, tax on capital gains, council tax, TV licence tax, import duty on things you buy from the internet, VAT on things from the internet, VAT and import duty on the postage fees for things on the internet, etc.

But it never seems to be enough.

One could also argue that the general US and most of Western population has lived 50 years of a capital strike and austerity for the working class (which is anybody collecting a wage as the preponderance of their living basis despite their wish to be classified otherwise). As a result of the pointy end of capital paying @1% of income and 0% of wealth in taxes, the burden has fallen almost completely on the working classes somewhat but insufficiently augmented by the actual (and tiny) middle class (also possessing incredible advantage in the tax code).

The real question is, in what kind of society does one wish to live?  Neofeudal with a small middle and upper class surrounded by poverty, highly violent and unstable politically or a civilized nation where the wealthy are still more comfortable than they can ever spend in a lifetime, even then living luxuriant lives with a clean, stable and opportunity based society where productivity is valued and wealth generated through useful production with a possibility of meritocratic upward mobility versus civil upheaval and revolution as the sole means to changing status.  This is the threshold whereupon we find selves.

Interesting.
Not familiar with Rothbard.
I’m a fan of Von Mises and Hayek.

If you know those two (both are brilliant), Rothbard fits right in then. More hardcore than his contemporaries, no doubt.
