Great Article! I'll add your point to my perception about taxes being unnecessary and a scam.

I think they are scam because government snatches it from you. Government is there to take care of the people like parents are there to take care of kids, home, and for themselves as well. So, for taking care, people earn money through whatever means they have. But when they earn money, they do it by adding value to something.

Government should actually earn the expenses that occur for taking care of its people. Every government has many means for doing so. In most of the countries government is the biggest land and other assets owner. Why can't it earn through them?
