It is not "taxes of others". It is simply taxes.
You are obliged to give taxes for welfare so that the poor have incentive to sign into the social contract and don't confiscate your private property. Consider it payment for your lifestyle. What incentive would this person not to kill you and take your wealth were she not getting welfare?
- wumbernang 11y agoIt is exactly taxes of others. There is no taxation on welfare technically speaking as you didn't create any value to have tax removed from. One of the things that is explicitly allocated from my taxation is policing. In some states/counties in some countries, that doesn't necessarily prevent those who are receiving welfare from taking your property either: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_England_riots http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_England_riots
- littletimmy 11y agoTaxes are not only on creation of value, they are also largely derived from ownership of productive assets. That is the one I dispute, for I don't believe that a person naturally ought to accept ownership of all means of productive by those who came before and acquired these assets through whatever means.
- douche 11y ago> What incentive would this person not to kill you and take your wealth were she not getting welfare? A twelve-gauge with #4 buckshot would do the trick nicely. I am obliged to give taxes for welfare because if I don't men with guns from the government will come and confiscate my private property.
