Go live in a country without any taxes and let us know how it goes.
I hear Afghanistan is nice this time of year.

The Taliban government taxes everyone and everything.

No they don't, they just rock up with guns and demand you give them stuff. If you have bigger guns, you don't pay them anything.
A libertarian's dream!

You just described why taxation is theft. Thank you.
Anastariana t1_ir4adbu wrote
That's not taxation you buffoon, that's called extortion.

How is taxation not extortion? What happens if you choose to not pay? The very definition of theft by extortion.
Anastariana t1_irpkxs4 wrote
Taxation is the social contract you engage in by living in a country. You don't get to live in a country and then not pay for its upkeep and defence. Only freeloading assholes would come to that conclusion.
Don't want to pay taxes? Fine, go and live in the woods. See how long you last.
You want to live in civilised society? Then pay your fucking share and stop being an entitled prick about it.
Gebling65 t1_irpmez9 wrote
Then pay for it voluntarily out of your pocket without committing extortion. The "social contract" is fiction.

>Then pay for it voluntarily
No, that's not how it works. Because then nobody would pay for things and anarchy descends. Greedy freeloaders like you romanticise that kind of thing because you've never gone a day in your life without clean water, food and toilet paper, but think you be a "rUgGeD sUrViOuR" whereas in reality you'd be dead within a week or two.
I don't have any kids, but I'm fine with my taxes funding schools because I don't want to live in a society of stupid, uneducated people. Sane people recognise this kind of thing, but go ahead and set up a political party based on zero taxes and see how many people vote for you. Many have tried and gotten nowhere; the free market has spoken.

I'm fine with paying for tuition for my own children to attend the school of my choice. I do not need to threaten my neighbors to pay for my children's schooling in a government education center. If you don't pay your own way and need to extort money from innocent victims, you are the greedy deadbeat criminal. Calling yourself a "government" doesn't make you any less of a criminal enterprise.

Thats a lot of words for 'I'm a pseudointellectual moocher."
Good news is: you can't do shit about it. Enjoy your taxes.
Gebling65 t1_irpowjq wrote
Because your side has the guns. That is theft at gunpoint. Admit what you are, criminal.
Anastariana t1_irpppqu wrote
Nope, you're the criminal by wanting to take what isn't yours because you've not paid for it: a functioning society, safety net, military, education and medical system.
The guns are there to make sure you don't steal them. Like I've said, go walk the walk and see how long you last. You won't, because you know full well you'd suck at it.

I guess you have trouble with such a blue state as California though. Must be hard for you to not count at all. How about Tampa? Nice and red!....and underwater.
Gebling65 t1_irq252p wrote
You are a fascist bootlicker who loves stealing money from innocent victims so it can be used to lock brown people in cells for victimless "crimes." What flavor of boot polish is your favorite, or do you love them all equally?
Anastariana t1_irq2poj wrote
Hehe, the far-right, balding guy is accusing someone else of being a fascist, betraying the complete lack of knowledge about the term. I'm not surprised, armchair libertarians usually don't have a clue what they're talking about.
Go to bed, Geoffrey. You've got work tomorrow. Y'know, that place you go to you can pay your taxes. *guffaw*
Gebling65 t1_irq38gp wrote
"Far right?" Isn't that one of your favorite 2 flavors of boot? Statists gotta state. BTW, Tampa is not under water. You are misinformed across a wide spectrum of topics. Is it difficult being wilfully ignorant? I don't care if you are a Communist or a Maga hat, you are a statist worshipper of force to get what you want for yourself. Goodnight to you, thief.
