... taxation is theft.
- czbond 5y agoTo be fair, taxation is useful for everyone and the common good. What can be considered.... wrong is EXTRA taxation. Meaning the governments job should be to operate as leanly as possible by being most efficient. To me that means, highly systems efficiently, low personnel overhead, large reduction in programs supported. Instead - the name is big and bloated. Expanding budget deficits mean expanded spending, which can never go down.
- technick 5y agoCouldn't agree more, I would be happy to pay taxes if the government represented me. However under the republic we have, it has fallen extremely short in representing my interest. I vote in every election, write letters to my representatives and attend town halls.
- moate 5y agoNo, it's payment for goods and services. If you want to live in a stateless utopia, you don't get any of the benefits of the state. That's the social contract.

- benmw333 5y agoDemocracy is tyranny. Voting is for children. Contractual representation is an acceptable solution.
- ClumsyPilot 5y ago>"Democracy is tyranny" War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
- recursive 5y agoI'm pretty sure minors are legally prevented from voting.
