Actually it isn't theft.
Taxation is a nationwide contribution to the government's operating budget from every person willing and capable of legally earning money. Tax money pays for public services like police, firemen, health care, justice, garbage disposal, education, road maintenance and so on. It's a long list. --- ~Phoenix Nine~ ~Victory needs no explanation; defeat allows none.~ ... Copied to Clipboard!

You could argue that it is extortion, but calling it theft would be inaccurate.

It's a prepayment for services available to you, such you use and benefit from both directly and indirectly.

yes, it is theft for you to sign contracts for which you agree that part of the money mentioned in the contract is stipulated to go towards a government that has allowed you to reside in it using to give you stuff.

Ilishe posted...Actually it isn't theft. Whether or not it is needed is irrelevant. Taxation isnt theft as you do receive legitimate services in return. It can be considered extortion since theres threat of force if you refuse to pay. --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn. [Order of the Cetaceans: Phocoena dioptrica] ... Copied to Clipboard!

What isn't fair is how much of my check the government takes. I lost 35% of my last check to taxes and I only work part time. There is something seriously wrong with this. Plus the fact the government overspends on stupid stuff that doesn't matter causing the country to go into huge amounts of debt.

Its not theft. You get government services in exchange. If no one paid taxes there would be no fire or police departments. Roads would have tons of potholes. Unlicensed drivers would crash into you all the time.

Technically yes, if you are unwilling to give the money to the government.
That being said almost all people are ok with paying taxes as they like things like roads, police, etc. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

The thing stealing your money is what creates your money and makes your money worth anything in the first place. They dont do that for free.

Remember why Americans fought against the British in the first place. Taxation without representation. That's pretty much what the government does now, I don't see where my money is going or who it's going to. It's kinda shit, but oh well, the money from my poor self goes to some rich guy in some third world country.
