I could have been clearer here. I had a debate with a Randian that was trying to convince me that taxation was theft and I leaned a little too far in that direction with this paper. I specifically talking about the fact that a lot of 'profit' or 'economic' rent takes advantage of the disadvantage a person is in. For example, the gas stating that charges $50 for an empty gas can to the guy that just walked 5 miles because his car ran out of gas. Of course you CAN charge it, but should you?
