| Taxes are theft. Not only because the government does not give us a choice as to whether or not we pay them, but that we, the tax-payer, have no direct say on how they are spent.
I would much prefer to remain in possesion of all my monies, and to be able to give to the charities and foundations that I decide. Not the government. It is the product of my labour, and should therefore be mine to spend however I should choose. To deny me this is wrong, it is saying that my work is for naught because someone else has chosen not to work and the all-knowing government has elected to forcibly steal my earnings and give them to this other person.
I cannot abide how the only defence statists can come up with are "well who could feed the homeless" or "what about wellfare" or "who would pay for healthcare"
these are all tools of the government and would of course be non-existant in a libertarian non-state. private enterprise will deal with all these things at a higher level of efficiency.
