Tax the rich.

Tax the rich.
- innguest 12y agoAnd the right to steal from, or "tax", the rich, comes from where? In other words, I'm curious how you think this is moral.
- gress 12y agoI'm curious how you think it's moral to deny justice to, or steal from the poor.
- innguest 12y agoI don't think those are moral things to do. But if you vote you do, because you are funding a group of people (the government) that does exactly that: denies justice to the poor (e.g. the war on drugs), and steals from them (e.g. the poor have fewer tax-evading strategies at their disposal).
- gress 12y agoThis is obviously false. Voting is a way of interacting with the state. Neither voting nor not-voting implies support for any particular state policy any more than using a state issued currency or holding a passport does.

- ctdonath 12y agoWe do. Heavily. They pay the bulk of all taxes.
- scarmig 12y agoI'm sure how you know these tax discussions inevitably go, so I'll just ask you to reread your commit and correct the very large inaccuracy in the last line to be what you actually meant to say.
