Taxation Is Theft

[Daniel1769]

Of course, you've the right to voice where tax money is spent collectively/democratically. If you've deemed a problem with how taxes are being doled out then start a petition; contact local, state or national representatives...else run a campaign to vote in like-minded representatives. No individual should have the power to personally opt out of any particular social program by mere fiat. Each of us benefit day-to-day by the cooperative efforts of society, each with a variety of societal needs and perspective. Your tax responsibilities serve the commonwealth at large which, in turn, sustains you. You're not a special snowflake.

Why do we have "the right to voice where tax money is spent collectively/democratically."??

What amount and scenario is realistic? If a $2 Trillion dollar budget and $20 Trillion of debt that needs to be financed is imaginable, what isn't it?

Your issue, as it should be an issue with anyone who supports fiscally responsible government, isn't with taxation, it's with abuse of tax dollars.

Try to be honest and admit that Dan.

If you picketed someone's pocket and gave the money to charity, it is still stealing.

How exactly does this work?

I wonder how many times and in how many ways some people have to be proven wrong for them to change their position, even a little bit?

For the same reasons you have free speech and the right to vote...etc.

I don't think you understood anything I said.

I cannot imagine 99 percent ever being justifiable.

Realistic is what we pay in reality; about 50 percent, I guess.

This amount is unjustified. Five percent would suffice.

If I earn a dollar, how much of it am I entitled to keep?

We vote on things because some people took a vote to do it that way. Other people get to vote on what you do with your money because some other guys voted on it a long time ago. Just like they voted to have slaves for so long. Voting doesn't justify things.

 

[ok doser]

so don't vote :idunno:

A dollar. Other people are entitled to exactly 0% of your income. And you're not entitled to any of theirs. It's a simple concept really. They say everyone should "pay their fair share." It's fair for someone to take exactly 0% of your income without your consent.

 

[ok doser]

that's half of the equation, the half you're stuck on and spinning your wheels on


see if you can't figure out the other half on your own

 

[drbrumley]

so don't vote :idunno:

That's unreasonable in this day and age. We have to vote out of self defense.

Don't worry, Trump will make America one of the lowest taxed nations in the world !!!

I highly doubt it. He could bring the tax rates down low, but he's not hidden the fact that he plans to spend a lot of money. That means we'll either be increasing the debt burden or printing more money...probably both. An increased debt is just a promise to raise taxes even higher in the future down the road. More inflation is a tax. Maybe worse than a tax. Lowering the tax rate doesn't make you any better off if inflation rises faster and the debt burden increases. The country has been doing that for a century, and we're kicking the can down the road. The question is WHEN, not IF, it's going to come to a head.
