Your argument is flawed.
What, we can't have a simple yes or no on whether it's okay to extort people for the common good? Every argument has to factor in the Treaty of Versailles? Are there no moral principles outside the context of your geopolitical grievances?
In a good faith contest of ideas respondents acknowledge and respond to the arguments raised in a sequential manner.
Your question has already been answered for anyone reading the thread.
If you missed it go back and find it.
If you can't I don't have time for imbecilic trolls..
What argument?? I said taxation is theft and you complained about the Korean War as though the US was on the wrong side.
This is why I hold my liquid capital in Bitcoin...to not support the US military industrial rogue state terrorism...but I also acknowledge this hierarchy is a function of human power structures and all but unavoidable.
But you are avoiding it whenever it's within your power personally. You can't tell other people it's unavoidable after you dumped your own hoarded wealth into a libertarian-invented tax-evasion machine.
Wrong.
I pay taxes on my land and BTC capital gains.
The taxes on my BTC gains are more tax than I have ever paid in over 5 decades as a taxpayer.
They provision the roads and infrastructure that enhances the value of my land and the security, law and order, free health care and education, social welfare, public housing, and rules based governance and administration that enhances my life as a citizen in a stable productive mixed economy democratic nation.
Just avoid supporting the US rogue state as much as I can by not holding any fiat in their NZ banking oligopoly.

That's besides the point. You're the only one in the country doing it. If everyone adopted your strategy then the government would collapse because they can't finance all the fake programs you're talking about without printing money. You think your capital gains tax is enough to make up for a literal money printer? It's infinitely not enough.

Yeah instead of FDR's socialist US, you allied yourself with a dissident international confederacy of private business that is far more radically anti-tax than the founders of the original US. Good job.
Is extortion good or bad?
