too regressive, they should be offset with a tax credit on income for low income people

I dislike taxes like most normal people.

However I can align with consumption taxes more so than any other tax.

I prefer sales tax to income tax.

But at the same time a tax is a tax; and taxation, as we all know, is theft.

I think it's pretty weird to be morally opposed to taxes on the basis that they're theft but then to say that you prefer one kind of tax to another kind of tax. I just can't get my head around the thought.

I think it should be just for things like Alcohol, Tobacco, and Marijuana. Jewelry too, I guess.

If you say so

If I was "morally opposed to taxes" (ooooh) I probably wouldn't have phrased it tongue-in-cheek with "and as we all know"

I would have just straight up said "Taxation is theft, fuck the government"

I don't understand the scare quotes or the oooh. But as long as you recognize that there are lots of people, probably some on this message board, who could have made your post and meant it sincerely then I don't really care whether or not you personally feel that way.

I'm glad you don't understand because I'm using them to mock you. I should have realized that after failing to identify an obvious joke, you wouldn't be able to handle that either.

@HypnoCoosh do you think taxation is theft or do you have some other kind of moral opposition to paying taxes?

This isn't a black and white question. There is a whole area of gray in the middle.

I definitely prefer sales tax. Tennessee has a slightly high sales tax but we have no state income tax which is extremely deedable
