And because you benefit from a society, that has government services that help produce a good society, and get the benefits of such, and don't pay taxes, doesn't mean that isn't stealing either. EVERYTHING has a cost. If you don't like the idea of civilization, which has governments, then get off the Internet and go to the ocean. The fact you speak of tax dollars as stealing, and then post on the Internet, is pretty much of a sign that you don't realize the costs associated with things, or realize the role tax dollars paid in it. In fact, everyone who complains that "taxes are theft" should stop using anything that is paid for with tax dollars, and that includes the Internet. |
I'm fine with a reasonable amount of taxing to pay for military, roads, firefighters, policemen and courts (plus maybe a couple other things)... but before the Reagan tax cuts we were talking 80% taxes for the highest bracket...how anyone can support that is what I don't understand.
And how can you say taxes aren't theft? Just because you get something for the money they take doesn't mean it's something you want. If I put a gun to your head and made you give me $60...then I bought you a copy of Madden NFL 13 you wouldn't necessarily be happy because maybe if I didn't steal that $60 you would have bought Borderlands 2 instead or some other game you wanted more. You see what I mean? It drives me nuts when my tax dollars go towards programs and funding that I absolutely do no support.
