Your hypothetical refusing to pay your tax is also theft; you are stealing from the rest of us.
I'm glad you agree that taxation is necessary for government to exist. Some day, I hope you'll come around to doing away with silly word games like "it's theft". Because it isn't.
- djschnei 10y agoIf, as you say, I am merely being charged for services, what do I do If services are being offered which I morally oppose and don't want to be part of? I am still forced to (coerced) to pay for them (theft) regardless of my usage. For example, I am vehemently opposed to our current handful of military actions. I don't want my money going towards innocent loss of life or actions that promote it. You're answer is to simply uproot my life and move? What do you think would happen if we could allocate our tax dollars personally however we see fit? With access to different public "services" being granted accordingly?
