Are you asking why you need obey laws you did not explicitly agree to?

Anyone who thinks taxation is theft is a fucking moron.

I'd argue that not paying taxes is theft in modern society, as you are not paying your fair share into the system that you have benefited and are benefiting from.


...a system that made its own conscious decisions to engage in doling benefits, without acquiring consent? NMFP.

it’s not theft. that said most of us would prefer to see a better “return” on our tax dollars


So true, such "return" rate sounds more like racketing

No its an exchange, when the government aspires to neo liberal economics and attempts a surplus it becomes theft.

No. Theft is the unlawful appropriation of another's property.
Taxes are lawful ergo taxes are not theft.


So we can all lawfully vote to execute you? yes?

Pointing to what was paid for with money doesn't justify the fact that it was taken from someone without their consent.

I dont consent to a system where I have to pay rent to live in an unoccupied house.
