I take issue with the idea that government should use violence to take from some people and give to others, the "You have to" (or we throw you on a cage or worse) is the problem.
The money and time wasted is the huge infrastructure to enforce the ever growing list of restrictions.
- bryanlarsen 11y agoAnd I take issue with the idea that taxes are theft. Without society, you'd be a subsistence farmer. Any income you earn above that of a subsistence farmer is enabled by society.
- jakeogh 11y agoSociety exists independent of taxes, for example we didnt always have a federal income tax, and there are states without state income tax now. There are other ways gov can raise money.
- harryh 11y agoAll of the ways that the government can raise money involves taking it from people. You're making a distinction without a difference.
