Stealing is taking without the right to take, or the permission of the individual.
Whilst you may not like paying taxes or agree with them, I am fairly sure the government has the right to take them.
- schreiaj 11y agoNot the other poster, but I am always bothered by the fact that, because I live in NH and work in MA, I have to pay MA state income tax. Now, because I DO use the roads there, and in the case of an emergency in that state I'd make use of the emergency responders I'm not completely opposed to paying any taxes to them. But to be taxed at the same rate as a resident does bother me. I cannot make use of public schools nor do I count as a resident for the purposes for in state tuition for MA's state universities. I wouldn't count this as "stealing" but I could definitely see how it would feel like that. I'm also bothered by the fact that I am taxed by a legislature that I cannot vote on and I'd question their right to tax me without representation.
