Taxes are you paying for goods and services provided by the government to the benefit of everyone. It is an exchange. An exchange is not theft. An exchange is not slavery. Did slave masters pay their slaves? Yes, sometimes, but mostly no. But the difference is, you couldn’t vote for a different slave master, and you couldn’t negotiate with your slave master on the terms of the exchange. Taxation, therefore, is not slavery. But I am willing to be challenged on this and end up wrong! I have an open mind and am but a poor pleb who stays humble and stacks bitcoin.

LOL. You need to look harder at the human farm you live on.

This is not an argument against what I said. Like I said, I’m willing to have my mind changed! You just have to actually present me with ideas that make sense lol. So far you have failed to do so. Are you not being open minded? Are you not willing to change your mind and have your beliefs challenged? I am.

You work from January 1 until sometime in April to pay the government off and stay out of jail. If that is not slavery I do not know what is.

Sure, you can debate how much tax you pay, and I encourage you to do so. And you can debate whether the goods and services you are receiving are worth what you are paying, and I encourage you to do so. But that’s not an argument against taxes.
