I feel like I'm in crazytown when I express distress about taxation - literally people forcibly taking away your property - and ppl act like I'm the crazy one. Sure, you could argue that this forcible theft is worth it, and I'll respect that, but it's still not crazy to be upset.

Lots to unpack here and too complex of a topic for the character limits of this app, I'd say. But a couple thoughts: - You still require some mandatory taxes, even if it's not income taxes - There's a big question about the role of the state here and +'ve vs. -'ve liberalism

Have you read Piketty's book "Capital"? I found that one very thought provoking about the non-revenue function of progressive taxation. I.e. without it, you get wealth concentrations that are incompatible with democracy.
