Taxes aren't some inherently evil thing meant to simply steal your money. They're there to help provide resources and public services to the governed population.

They're there to help provide resources and public services to the governed population. Unless, y'know, you want to pay for fire insurance for your house. Or pay out the ass for health insurance. Yes, you could just pay for your own insurance or pay for whatever repairs or protections you need. Some people do that already, and some counties have that kind of fire protection service, for example. People also pay for their own health insurance and often seek jobs to help mitigate the costs. I dont know why you brought that up. Taxes might not be inherently evil, but they often are arbitrary, in that many pay for things they dont even use and sometimes dont know about. Its also debatable to call taxes consensual, considering that your ass could eventually go to jail if you dont pay, while others would literally have to move out of the country to avoid it. Thats the same as me showing up at your house and demanding money, then saying its consensual because you could either leave or choose to be shot in the face, just as a US Marshall is authorized to do. --- ... <cite>Lorenzo_2003 posted [p:912178733] in Democratic...
