Do you believe taxation is theft or legitimate?
replied 2222d
Taxation is not theft if the money is used for the benefit of the people. If that money goes into things that benefit some business or someone is stealing it, then its theft.

In Venezuela taxes forma they "benefit" of the people goes to the Money laundry of "socialista" politicians. they Say they help but they only give crumbs,

And? Read again what I said, I was VERY SPECIFIC in my language, I said IF tax money is not used for its intended purpose (such as someone stealing that money) then its theft. CLEARLY.

socialism is communism, and communism means abolition of private property, why do you want the state to own your stuff, ED? why do you want to be controlled?
replied 2221d
Socialism is not Communism. You dont know the difference either.
replied 2221d
And while you seem to want to shit on Socialism, saying how its bad because some politician steals money, in US Capitalists/Politicians stole not millions or billions but TRILLIONS!

So I can knock on your door. Put a gun to your head, steal your stuff and sell it as long as I use the money to buy food for my children and give the rest to the orphanage.

taking money from me for yourself only is not intention of taxation. Its to provide ALL CITIZENS with services, so it means everyone benefits from it so its not stolen from them.

You just don't get it. I'll try one more time: Your tax money provides YOU with services and infrastructure, not just other people as you people like to make it up.

Ok you got me, you drive a hard bargain. I will fix a few potholes too. Nice doing business with you.

You really are stupid. Do you even know what is the intention of the Tax? Its to provide services for the people, which includes you also. If money is used as intended it is not theft.

Ok so I will give you some of the proceeds back, or buy you some food too. Happy now? Or shall I put you in jail to convince you.
