Taxation is not theft. It's extortion
Forget these crap “lifeboat situations” they are designed to get people to turn away from philosophy in disgust. Better: is taxation theft? Why do people in government operate under opposite rules than those they rule over? Is national debt theft from the unborn?

I worked for a Scottish minister a few years ago,he screwed me for about £400 which was what I was going to use for Christmas, but he said that 1 of the things a minister should do is leave the fabric and the congregation in a better shape than when he arrived, same with states

One could argue that a basic level of Taxation that is needed to provide for common infrastructure like roads, and for National Defense, is not theft. But anything beyond that is theft.

Better: Is experiencing the benefits of a structured state--highways, defense, parks, etc--w/o paying taxes theft?

See these things that the taxpayer benefit from are not the dreaded “taxation without representation.” But when billions of taxpayer dollars go to foreign states without return investment, now that is indeed theft - especially since its most often done for politicians profit.

"billions of taxpayer dollars go to foreign states without return investment" Return: * Make world more stable, lowering risk of future world wars that will deplete roesources * Promote trading partners that will buy American goods.

And when this doesn’t happen and the aid continues anyway? I could think of a number of states this applies to off the top of my head, and would be able to show more with D. of State’s foreign aid data sheet. Also, since when did those immaterial returns become US taxpayer burden
