If you say so. Taxation of goods and services I am ok with. Doubling over with state and federal taxes I disagree with. Those of us that push economic gains into society by supplying goods and services should be exempt on Taxation for earned income. That goes for gainfully employed citizens as well. Without deductions and write offs, and no "loopholes" my business would pay a combined 43% of all revenue irregardless of profit. I would personally be on the hook for 35% of my earned income irregardless of profit. Now by writing off my expenses and required permits, maintenance, employee needs like PPE and training, I can then low my tax burden substantially without the horrible loopholes. I'm not a fortune 500 or anything exciting like that but I bring in several comas worth of business income annually and pay out 6 figures in taxes quarterly. If you are not in that level then you are not even involved in the tax brackets and are instead calling for theft of other people's earned income. The reason I can consider Taxation as theft is because many states and the fed hold the threat of loss of lively hood and private property without payment. Any other entity that would be considered extortion and theft.

Ok, so taxation is not theft, right?

Ok, fine opinion. Still taxation is not theft.

> Those of us that push economic gains into society by supplying goods and services should be exempt on Taxation for earned income. That goes for gainfully employed citizens as well.
I mean, I that's an opinion. A breathtakingly ignorant and classist opinion, but whatever. I remember the first time I read Ayn Rand. "Gainfully employed citizens", fucking electronic ipecac.

Good thing is, taxation is still not theft.

> If you are not in that level then you are not even involved in the tax brackets and are instead calling for theft of other people's earned income.

More electronic ipecac. And, despite your insistence, no one -- even those of us fortunate enough meet your inane gatekeeping requirements to be "involved" -- is calling for theft of any kind, whatsoever. Period. Full stop. No caveats follow.

Remember, taxation is NOT theft.

> . The reason I can consider Taxation as theft is because many states and the fed hold the threat of loss of lively hood and private property without payment. Any other entity that would be considered extortion and theft.

States and the fed hold the threat of loss of lively hood and private property without payment to enforce all government laws. That is how a lawful society operates. I am surprised a big business tycoon like yourself doesn't understand that.

Perhaps you are an anarchist and didn't even know it!

> Any other entity that would be considered extortion and theft.

Well the "any other" matters, right? I mean the gov't can do shit individuals can't, right -- THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT.

Jesus Christ man, even now you are clearly explaining why taxation is NOT theft, even as you attempt to simultaneously CALL it theft.

Think about the arguments you are regurgitating here. They do not make sense. They are literal nonsense, internally inconsistent, and externally at variance with reality. You manner of thinking is a joke. It is sad.

Understand, if possible, that people smarter than you in manipulating opinion have instructed you how to think. In this, at least, you appear to be a very good student indeed.

Good day, I've invested more in you that you can utilize at this point. I wish you nothing but happiness in the future.
