Ah yes, the government mafia wants a bigger cut. A reminder: taxation is theft and slavery. The Crypto movement was created by people who recognize that.
If you really think that, then go live on an island somewhere and stop using our roads and other amenities, please.
the guys who built the road were taxed on their wages and they should be mad as hell about that, too.
A response completely bereft of any logical argument about why taxation is "theft and slavery". Do you have any arguments that would support this assertion?
it's a comment on a web forum, he doesn't have to reiterate the entire history of heterodox economics for you to be convinced its a defensible position. and anyway, it's quite besides the point since the economic argumentation is secondary to the observation that cypherpunks were an anti-taxation and anti-government - basically anarchist - subculture out of which crypto emerged.
I don't want to support foreign wars. I don't want to support foreign aid to countries that use it to conduct wars. I don't want to support incarceration. Yet, if I don't (e.g. pay taxes), I will be imprisoned, shot, etc.
Came here for this. It's sick to see how much energy and effort gets wasted on war and violence
