Explain to me how taxation is not theft. Go ahead, I'll wait.

WHO WILL BUILD THE ROADS
>>69740963
As long as the government actually uses the money to advance the country then its fine by me.
>>69740963
Who says it isn't? It's a bit of a harsh use of the term theft but it's theft.
>>69740963
One of the fundamental roles is to determine property rights and ownership. Therefore, if the government says something is theirs, it is.
>>69741106
>actually
there's that word again...
>>69740963
>le dank image macro may may
>>69740963
I consider it to be more like rent.
>>69740963
how can the gov steal something that is created by the gov?
>Lmao memes are pictures with block text XDDdd!!!!!!!!one11!!
doubles get!
>>69741048
Paving contractors
It's not theft. You can opt out of paying your taxes at any time. Just leave.
>>69740963
You volunteer to do it when you seek employment, start a business or trade commodities.
>MUH FREEDUMB!
You don't like it when others play by libertarian rules, huh? You agreed to it, so you have no excuse.
>>69740963
ownership is an illusion and therefore so is theft
>>69741152
Im sorry?
>>69740963
Taxation is theft, but only because property is theft.

The unspoken social contract is you will pay the government for the services you cannot provide for yourself, such as healthcare and national defence and roads. Feel free to go live off the grid in the woods with your guns, I'm sure squirrel is delicious.
>>69740963
You are allowed to leave. I doubt someone mugging you would let you leave with your money on the condition that you stop living in his city.
>>69740963
Income tax is theft, and the gov't didn't get a warrant, cause they are fat fucks.
We consent with votes :^)
>>69740963
Shut up Heath. Being Anarchist is fucking stupid.
>>69741487
You don't need an unspoken one. OP AGREED IN WRITING to fucking pay taxes when he did any of the things I mentioned. PERIOD. It was tacit agreement. Now he bitches because that's what he is.
>>69741576
See above, faggot.
>>69740963
B-Becuz muh social contract!
Hobbesian leviathan!
>>69741106
What if the 'advancement' is detrimental to you but an advancement for the populace?
>>69741274
If you make a chair and trade it for a blowjob and take the chair, it's theft.
>>69741788
OP didn't necessarily agree to the rules of the game though, he's born into it these rules and has to abide by them if he wants to survive. That's assuming he's not a mountain man.
>>69740963
How will you build roads?
>>69741539
>local mob demands protection money
>it's cool because you can just move away
>>69740963
>i dont want to pay for something so its theft
gosh darnit i was getting robbed everytime i bought it
revolution when lads?
>>69741948
Of course he did. He does every time he does any of these things. If he doesn't like it he should move to some fucking commun- I mean some "real capitalist" country. See how the sword of autistic money-worship cuts both ways?
>>69742058
>If he doesn't like it he should move
Kek. There it is again.
>>69742023
>for something
>bought
Do you even understand what people are discussing?
>>69742058
Going along with what somebody says because they have a gun to your head is not the same as agreeing with what the person with the gun is making you do. OP "agrees" to pay taxes when he seeks employment because he cannot reasonably expect to find employment without paying taxes. It's possible but its hard, and its almost always illegal.
>>69740963
The problem OP is that you've realized that the current community has declared you an enemy, therefore you have reservations about supporting a society hell bent on your destruction.
If you felt like part of the community and that your community taxation were utilized for the good of you, your family and your neighbors you might have a different perspective.
Humans are tribal. Its natural to give selflessly to the tribe (kith and kin). It is not natural to give selflessly to an enemy tribe.
>>69742143
There what is again? This is LITERALLY WORD FOR WORD the argumentation libertarians use when describing their proposed utopia.
>>69742260
Nobody has a gun to your head for taxes, you retarded faggot. And you agreed to this. You consistently do. Don't like it, move.
>>69740963
The law dictates what constitutes theft
The law does not dictate that taxation is theft
>>69741985
Charitable donations.
Or do you lack faith in fellow man?
well idk. Lets see, you had a road to drive on,bridges to cross. People protecting you why you sleep. You get the idea, pretty much everything you have comes from taxes.
>>69742346
>what is a metaphor
No but as you said, he agreed to pay taxes when he sought employment. Is it possible to find a job in which you will not pay any taxes? You're saying OP has a choice, I'm saying he has none (unless he likes living in a shack in the woods).
For someone who objects to the social contract of government, taxation would be a theft from them. But utilising public services paid for by others, including the protection you may recieve compared to an anarchy, is a theft BY you. If you object to taxation, you are obligated to not use these.
>>69742191
yes, do you?
government buys stuff
you use that stuff
so you pay the government for having bought that stuff
if you dont want to government to have your money, there wont be a government, and youd have to buy your own stuff
the 'willingly' in the picture implies that they dont want to pay money for stuff they dont want to pay money for (but still want or need)
in short, youre fucking retarded kill yourself

>What if the 'advancement' is detrimental to you but an advancement for the populace?
what's good for the beehive is good for the bees
>>69740963
If you don't want to pay taxes move to the fucking jungle and create your own fucking civilization from the ground up.
>>69740963
If you live in a society you have signed the social contract. Dont like it you can leave.
I always think of this scene. shit's hilarious.

Stealing from jews isn't stealing.
>>69743562
been done... the got taxed under threat of force.
Fucking cancucks, so fucking new...
I wish we didn't have flags anymore
if I tell you to pay me money or ill lock you up in my basement prison that would be theft. when a government does it they call it taxation.
theft is defined by a legal code
the legal code does not define tax as theft therefore it is not
there i solved your retard problem
>>69741048
Who will build the wall?
>>69744463
A legal code also defines niggers as 'humans' with 'rights'. I think you need to think again m80.
