The idea that taxation is theft is amusing to me. It's right up there with the idea that property is theft. Both of these ideas smack of anarchy, which means neither are sustainable.
If one doesn't like the way their taxes are being used, it does not follow that their government is committing robbery--unless they're an anarchist.
Are there any anarchists here?
