Idea: The Freedom Wrestling Federation
I propose that an entrepreneur should start the Freedom Wrestling Federation, a libertarian themed wrestling association. The overarching plot could be the individual vs. the state. This could be very entertaining. Here is an fictitious, abbreviated match transcript to demonstrate my point:
ANNOUNCER: Good evening FWF wrestling fans, tonight we have a great match up. It’s the Libertarian Luchador…
<applause>
ANNOUNCER: vs. The Tax Man.
<jeering>
ANNOUNCER: And things are getting starting right away. The Libertarian Luchador is coming off the ropes. He hits an arm drag and The Tax Man goes down. Luchador going for the cover… and Tax Man kicks out in two.
<jeering>
ANNOUNCER: The Tax Man with a chest slap to an Irish Whip. The Luchador is coming back and a BIG DROP KICK. The Luchador is down. He might be hurt folks… HE’S NOT MOVING!
<jeering>
ANNOUNCER: The Tax Man is leaving the ring. WHAT IS HE DOING? He’s heading over to the timekeepers table. He appears to be filing a Moonsault Request with The Head Bureaucrat. Remember the Tax Man has to OK everything with his superiors. The bureaucrat has approved and stamped the paper and The Tax Man is heading back into the ring. This could be the end for the Luchador, who’s still stunned. OH! The Tax Man hits a big moonsault and covers. One… Two… AND THE LIBERTARIAN LUCHADOR KICKS OUT!
<applause>
ANNOUNCER: Oh no! The Tax Man was just given something by The Head Bureaucrat. What does he have? It’s the complete 2010 tax code! He’s hitting the Libertarian Luchador in the face with the tax code. Oh, this is just brutal!
<jeering, the ref tries to take the tax code from The Tax Man>
ANNOUNCER: But wait Anarcho-Scruffy has rushed into the ring. He’s kicked The Tax Man off. He’s giving the Luchador a copy of Man, Economy and State. The Luchador and The Tax Man are wailing on each other with these giant books. Unfortunately it seems Man, Economy and State can’t compare to the sheer volume of the tax code.
ANNOUNCER: Anarcho-Scruffy is back in the ring. He’s duct taping a copy of The Ethics of Liberty to Man, Economy and State. The Luchador hits The Tax Man with it, but it’s still not enough. Anarcho-Scruffy tapes on a copy of Human Action. With this be enough to take The Tax Man out?
ANNOUNCER: A GIANT HIT with the Rothbardian bludgeon and The Tax Man is down! The Libertarian Luchador covers. One… Two… Three! The Libertarian Luchador wins!
<applause>
