Democrats Advertise The Great Job Romney Did Running the Debate

However you define
irrationality few people could deny that a good definition would be you want A,
B prevents A and yet you do B.  For
example, say you want to stay alive, yet for no reason whatsoever you attack
someone much more powerful than you and who takes pleasure in killing.  This act ultimately leads to your death.  You wanted A, (staying alive) yet you did B
(attacked someone) which prevented A. 
That is an irrational act.  It
will now be shown that Mitt Romney and those who vote for him are much more
irrational than Obama and his supporters. 
By definition cooperation is good and noncooperation is bad.  Let’s take a small moment to prove this. 

A and B desire C and
believe C is good

A and B cannot obtain good
alone

A and B can obtain C through
cooperation which is called D

Therefore D is good

Cooperation is simply the
joining of resources to obtain a good, hence by definition cooperation is
good.  Let us grant for the sake of
argument that Mitt Romney has never illegally evaded taxes although that is
probably not true.  Most likely he has
cut some corners but nothing so outrageous that it would come to the attention
of the IRS.  Even republicans will admit
however that Romney has gone to extensive lengths to evade as much taxes as is
legally possible.  Gawker obtained
numerous files documenting his offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands and the
response in the business press was that this is not news.

By seeking to evade as much
taxes as is legally possible Romney is essentially being uncooperative.  The goods that come from taxes, to name a few
these are, protection from crime, security from war, roads, education, job
training, etc.  Aside from the back to
the nature types, all of us want these goods. 
The dispute between Republicans and Democrats is not whether or not tax
by itself is good, but what to tax and how much.  Fortunately that highly technical debate is
irrelevant to this discussion.  What is
relevant is Romney’s irrationality.  To
restate, trying to evade taxes even when it is quasi legal is fundamentally
irrational.  It amounts to wanting A but
doing B which prevents A.  Romney wants
the goods of taxation yet his actions cause the exact opposite.    

Does Romney really believe
that cooperation is an unequivocal good? 
Apparently not.  He is at
rock-bottom fundamentally uncooperative. 
He does not understand that if you want the goods of cooperation (roads,
security, well-educated peers) then you have to sacrifice individual
luxuries.  That is the essence of
cooperation, restraining one’s short-term personal desires for the sake of
long-term greater goods which come through communal work.  Tax is the engine that drives cooperation and
by striving as much as possible to avoid it, Romney is essentially
uncooperative.
