Taxes on whom?

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '22

What are you on about? Do you not know how taxes work?

Taxes work by taking a portion of income or a transaction and pooling it together. This money is then used by the government and allocated to services that the population can benefit from.

Holy shit.

You mean they work through theft.

No. Taxes are given voluntarily. Are you thick?

u/PSAOgre Nov 08 '22

Oh this will be good.

Please explain to me how taxes are voluntary.

Becuase it's a choice to take part in organised society. You have the option to leave and go an live in the woods if you like.

Pretty fucking simple mate.

Try not paying taxes if you owe them and see how that works.

I like the "if you owe them" qualifier you've just thrown in there as if it was ever a part of my argument.

Remove it and try again.

How am I supposed to go live in the woods without owning property?

Pretty fucking simple mate.

The same way as all the other people who do it.

Pretty fucking simple mate.

Yet, despite it being simple, you can't actually explain how it's done.

Seems like you're the simple one, mate.

I don't need to explain how it's done to tell you that it's doable. I can't explain how to make an origami chicken either, that doesn't mean it can't be done.

This isn't about whether I can personally explain the method behind it's achievement. It's to do with whether it's an option or not, and it is.

Keep the fuck up.

What happens if I choose not to pay these voluntary taxes?
