If taxation is theft, so is forcing me to pay for a television at gun point when I want to buy a TV.

*So is forcing everyone to pay for a television at gun point, whether they want a television or not.
...Or whether or not they want to buy that television from a shop ran by thieves, liars, and killers.

Obviously everything goes smoothly when you kiss their feet.

Weird, especially considering the cost of educating a student k-12 is less than $110k  :lol:

Even Heritage prices it under $110k.


Methodology is irrelevant when it produces results they agree with and they don't have to deviate from simplistic explanations

I love how nobody even addressed that the information from the Cato chart was completely incorrect :lol:

Also, high school seniors know a lot more than seniors 50 years ago. It is impressive that our achievement has stayed consistent despite an ever expanding body of knowledge.

I couldn't imagine spending less on education. We need to spend more.

You're only forced to pay taxes if you use the services in America. You are free NOT to use those services but that seems like it'd be very difficult to do in modern society..

Their services..
Such as
*Allowing you to exist
*Allowing you to build your own shelter
*Allowing you to hunt and not starve..if you pay them.
*Allowing you to own, or buy something
*Allowing you to own land that is not theirs in the first place


We're not free to escape taxation and live, whatever it is you do to live as such, you will be committing a crime.

Plenty of people do all those things and don't pay taxes. The margins of society is full of them.

You should get into the social sciences.
