>You're telling people you have a right to seize their earnings for their labor. You don't think this is happening now? A hypothetical, though not a very abstract one: A wealthy investor uses some of their money to buy a corporation. Thousands of people drive to work every day and sit at a desk for more than half of their conscious hours, making money for that company. The investor stays at home, doing whatever he wants. At the end of the day, the investor is many thousands of dollars richer, while the employees have all make $70 in wages. Capitalism is explicitly about seizing earnings generated from labor. You're not defining "taxation," you're defining "corporation."
