If someone works hard and earns a fortune - or creates something that sells huge - or if they are just damned lucky - why ahould we have the right to take what is theirs?
Lucky Indians - they've got this whole continent to themselves - we better take it away from them and give it to someone else..... [ /smartass example ]
Answer we don' t have that right. Pretending we do is the very definition of theft.
Taxation only equates to theft if you get nothing in return. Schools, roads, utility networks, cops, the military, social programmes, government pensions, farm subsidies, national parks, museums, public transport, mail service…how does paying for these things qualify as theft?
