That taxes enable a well funded prosperous and harmonious society.
The taxpayer gets a wealth of services for their taxes.
I enjoy public healthcare, education, roads, police, environmental protection, border control, science and industrial research and many more government services that enhance my life and the wealth and security of myself and all citizens.

Would love to see how long you would survive outside of the protective skirts of your nation state - doubt it would be long before you are a sobbing moaning and bedraggled mess begging for a blanket a coke and a Big Mac.

Accept it - taxes are a great thing - you only must pay them to the degree you are prospering...and the degree to which you are prospering is roughly related to the quality of your government combined with your own efforts...and good government does not come cheap.

Who's taxes? You saved yourself from the damage. We can afford to ignore the consequences of taxation because we have Bitcoin.

Of course other people getting taxed to pay me could be considered a good thing within a certain logical framework. It depends if your morality is subjective or objective.

Any rational actor is more than happy to pay taxes as they can provision a decent, secure, modern, prosperous and civilised society to live in and enjoy.

reply

No rational actor wants someone else to be taking their money. It's all sadomasochism. Socialism is a disease of the soul.

Taxation is not socialism you moron - taxation is the price of being in a civilised organised group of humans for mutual protection, rule of law, property rights and wealth creation.

reply

It's all extortion. You think extortion is necessary for cooperation. I see it as the opposite of cooperative.

reply

Nonsense you do not understand the fundamental nature of human society.

It is not extortion it is a voluntary and reciprocal relationship where you gain as well as give.

If you don't like taxes go out there where there is no government- but you will not because you are not that suicidal and/or insane- are you?

reply

Yeah you give, I take. Pay me for pointing a gun at you. Lol. Because we live in a "society."

reply

You do though because you are not stupid enough to go and live in a forest or on an island where you would not be required to pay taxes.

You are thus demonstrably an ungrateful hypocrit, parasite, bludger and whinger lacking any gratitude for and understanding of the considerable benefits of collective human organisation.
