The "social contract," which we are said to have consented to "implicitly," is the primary way we hear the state justified. Our opponents on social media seem to consider this a devastating reply, as if we've never heard it before. Taxation isn't theft because we've all agreed to it via the social contract, they say. Uh huh. Sure. This episode puts the social contract through the shredder.

0:00.0 | The Tom Woods Show, episode 1370. |
0:03.4 | Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion. |
0:08.0 | Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show. |
0:14.2 | Come on now, folks. If you ain't going to start that side hustle now, then when? |
0:18.0 | Check out my free e-book, Five Paths to an Online Income, where I take you step |
0:22.4 | by step through five things that I do that keep food on the Woods household table and how you |
0:28.5 | can do them too. Check it out at paths to income.com. |
0:32.9 | Hey, everybody, Tom Woods here. Of course, I'll be talking about the special counsel's report on alleged Russian collusion, which appears not to have found any. But that's just come out and I haven't been able to digest it yet. And I'd like to bring a guest on to talk about that. So that'll be coming up.

1:00.5 | A number of my friends have been writing on this subject. There's some good articles that have |

1:21.4 | meantime, I have a completely irrelevant episode for you in the sense that it has nothing |
1:26.1 | entirely irrelevant, but it has nothing to do with |
1:28.9 | current events, but nevertheless does have to do with kind of a sticking point for us as |
1:34.5 | libertarians, because a lot of times you'd be arguing something on social media, let's say, |
1:40.8 | and maybe you're talking about taxation as theft or something like that. |
1:44.8 | And what you'll be hit with every time, as if you've never heard it before. |
1:48.8 | This is my favorite part. |
1:50.6 | They portray it as something you've never heard before. |
