If you guys wanna call taxation “theft,” be my guest. I’d call it part of a social compact
Discussion
Lol a social compact that you get thrown in prison for breaking if you disagree with.
And there’s no opt out.
Kinda like slavery was a social compact yeah? Lmao
Yes. Taxation is just like slavery. How ignorant of me to not realize that. Thanks for enlightening me
I’m confused, friend. I never said taxation was theft. I don’t think it is. In fact, I used taxation as the case in which government collecting money from its citizenry is explicitly *not* theft. It’s based, in principle, on the consent of the governed.
Happy to give you the last word here. 🍻
Ok. But I still don’t see how expansion of the money supply is “theft.” For example, the money supply increased dramatically after the pandemic. But was that “theft” or a necessary step to rescue the economy?
