Taxes are your just dues for living in a society. Tax evasion is theft from the commonwealth.

- jljljl 13y agoHe actually provides a reason for why Tax evasion is theft: Since taxes are the dues for living in a society which provides public goods such as roads, infrastructure, education, etc., refusing to pay taxes is stealing the usage of those goods without paying your dues. I can see that in his argument, but I don't see an explanation for why taxes are theft in your argument. Unless somehow you completely avoid usage of public goods (which no, you don't).
