Civil Discourse

[Fogdog]

How many times do i have to tell you that I am not religious?

Wants to discuss a book that was written as an pointed analogy about communism in particular and demagogues in general.

Doesn't like the pointed use of analogies.

Just a reminder, today's topic is:

Is taxation theft? Why or why not?

I think there is no doubt that it is stealing, and the best argument for taxation is the "robin hood" argument. Any pro-tax argument that denies the theft element of taxation is dishonest.

Government is unable to collect any tax from anyone unless you consent to it

I know you’re unemployable but if you ever got a job they’d make ya fill out a form first where you consent to be taxed

@rollitup you should ban him from his own thread now! Just imagine the meltdown

I commented about the fact that all taxes are collected only with consent

No. Because.

Best opposing argument so far.

Render unto Ceasar, that which is Ceasar's. Taxation is completely legal so under the law it is not stealing. But you know that so I will infer you are speaking morally. From a moral perspective it is widely considered wrong to take property from people against their will, so you could argue it is legally sanctioned theft, sure.

 

[Bugeye]

"good people on both sides"

You quote Trump very well. Do you support his impeachment?

You are free to judge for yourself, is it fair to say you do not value my opinion anyway?

 

[Justin-case]

One would think a nazi like Michiganklandoctor would be pro taxation, because it's hard to run people over when you get upset without good roads.

What do you think, df?

You actually can’t argue that it’s theft

I think I will add you to the list of hateful fools that I will not be wasting time responding to anymore. I hope you forgive and get honest. Bye.
