I'm not telling anyone what they have to do. I am telling you what they have done and why you can't claim 100% of your salary is based on your own working.
Thus I owe it to them to keep fighting the government creep towards authoritarian totalitarianism.
What have your forefathers been doing that you are now arguing that 100% of what I have earned and paid taxes on already, should get taxed again at some later date - as a punishment for me not spending it all?
I too don't want government to be too big or too all encompassing but that has nothing to do with whether some sort of taxation could be considered ok.
One things is certain though. If you had to pay for everything yourself you wouldn't be able to afford it. The price of many of the things we consider obvious today are based on many years of accumulated hard work by others than your forefathers which you benefit from today.
So we can discuss whether we pay too much tax, I am fine with that discussion.
But positioning it as all taxation being thievery is both incorrect and simplistic.
And don't get me wrong. I have no problems with participating in a community. I have a problem with government setting up barriers and maintaining a monopoly on community.
I have no apriori issue with government offering services, I have an issue with being forced to pay and consume those services, regardless of how (in)efficient they may be.
I am also very much aware that I am only at the end of a long line of people striving for a better future. And nearly all my personal efforts are directed towards fulfilling my obligation towards my forefathers as towards my descendants.
And resisting crazy talk about totalitarian governments as a savior for all our problems is a part of that.
Don't get me wrong - the manifesto above has hardly anything to do with your position, I am merely explaining my own position.
You can choose to pay your taxes or you can choose to move somewhere else where you aren't taxed. You don't have the right to anything anymore than anyone else do. If you don't like the society you live in move somewhere you like or start your own.
Taxes are not voluntary contributions.
I'm of native descent. I was on this continent before this government and there's no way it could exist with my consent.
The US government don't have the right to control the US continent anymore than the British do England or Swedish Sweden and so on. They took it and is defending it through the sheer use of power.
There is no justice in how land is distributed, no right or wrong only the power to claim and hold it.
And so it goes with taxation; there is no right or wrong taxation, it's the price to live in a society for any of us unless we can find a way to change it through the system, build our own or find some isolated place where no one will bother us.
Neither homesteading nor claims of natural laws changes that.
So yeah I guess unfortunately might is the final word in right.
