i understand what the “taxation is theft” crowd is getting at, the problem with that rhetoric is that it’s a category error and not true.

debating taxes though is like trying to understand the roots of plant through examining the petals.

even if every tax on the books unjust, that doesn’t mean taxes cannot have a place in a just society.

founders carved out some space with “taxation without representation” but still missed the mark because “representation” doesn’t determine justice.

I am with you, i think taxes will be an old relic based on how tech will change production.

and saying our tax system is absurd understates the problem significantly.

we severed money from value with fiat. that’s the root, that’s prime.

until we scorch and salt fiat, no one will be able to make sense of taxes
