Internet Based Taxation
According to Chbib, the advent of near full penetration of the internet into the homes and institutions of the western liberal, capitalist citizenry, combined with the lack of true ethnic, cultural and religious representation in national and regional governments (as reflected in their subsequent policies and laws), an apathetic western citizen will seek to incrementally improve her/his self governing participation outside the traditional democratic paradigm. Radical citizenship can in fact be enhanced by internet participation and specifically in the case of capitalism by a pluralistic form of taxation easily accessible on the net. Identity and citizenship are indeed multiple, challenged, and variable and can be expressed outside the present political order.

Famous quotes containing the words based and/or taxation:
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“The Government is able to afford a suitable army and a suitable navy. It may maintain them without the slightest danger to the Republic or the cause of free institutions, and fear of additional taxation ought not to change a proper policy in this regard.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
