Taxes aren't voluntary. No one ever said they were. They are mandatory, you receive shit from the government that you didn't ask for and are expected to pay.

In a way, it's like those homeless people that put something in your hand and demand that you pay them for it.

Like those guys that randomly come up and wipe your windows without you asking at all, and then they bang on your car and scream at you when you don't pay them.

I didn't ask for the war in Iraq, yet I'm still expected to pay for it. NASA? What if i don't want a space program? Still forced to pay.

Do i at least get to DIRECTLY control how my stolen money is spent? No. I have to *elect* some motherfucker who decides for me.

Your money is going to build a wall because Mexico isn't paying for it. LOL.
replied 2292d
But do i get to choose whether i pay for it? NOPE

Because apparently informing ourselves when we make political decisions is too hard to do. We simply just have to trust it to people that are more "capable" than us to make decisions.

In a world where anyone can vote, and inform themselves on political matters from the comfort of their home with a internet connected device paired with blockchain security to boot.

But no guys, we can't have direct democracy! Tyranny of the majority!!! Like the majority doesn't get what the fuck they want anyway.

Elected representation is so good that we got stuck with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as our only two choices!!! And we didn't even get to pick between the two, not really!

Starting to think this guy is just trolling and he doesn't actually believe a word he says. Posterity will throw him in with ED and LightRider.

This place is such a good uncensorable & immutable microcosm of online opinion shaping and disinformation. It will make a great study someday ✍🏼

You couldn't deduce that from the username? ;)

You can always go live in the wilderness. No one is stopping you. That said the penalty for not paying taxes isn't the same everywhere. They dont jail you in Canada.

You could always stop defending mass fraud (taxation).
No one is stopping you.
Why should those contending the fraud be the ones to go?

replied 2275d
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I have guns pointed at me all day and that's totally what voluntary means. /s
replied 2275d
Except you dont. They will imprison you in the USA for not paying though I guess.

replied 2275d
And of you request, you are met with those guns aforementioned.
So yeah, I do. So do most others.
replied 2275d
It is harsh that the USA enforces taxes that hard, but the fact that the requirement is enforced does not lead to why you are not obligated to pay in the first place.

replied 2275d
What?
replied 2275d
It should be a simple concept. At a basic level we are obligated to be good to one another. The fact that we enforce laws people agree upon doesnt mean we are not obligated to be good.

How is systematic theft being good to Anyone victim of such?
replied 2275d
Systematic theft isn't good. Systematic theft is people and companies not paying their taxes.

How do you define taxation?
replied 2275d
Well not as theft for one. It is part of your contribution to the society you live in. It allows the system to run. You want the Google definition?
anarchovegan
replied 2275d
I'm asking for Your definition.
Is Google you?
replied 2275d
Well I gave you mine.
anarchovegan
replied 2275d
That taxation is part of your contribution to society?
replied 2275d
In a general way, yes.
replied 2292d
To be more specific one is obligated to pay for the services rendered. One can choose to leave the society that uses taxation, and no longer be obligated to pay.
