I never said government is bad.

But income tax is theft. If you do not pay our overseers, then you are at the wrong end of a gun or the otherwise of a steel cage.

you can choose to denounce your citizenship and stop paying taxes. but your also need to leave the country, and live as a stateless Pirate. and any state enforced rules don't apply so you better arm yourself to the teeth and hide from any roaming military.

[monkeyfoop]

There are countries that provide military and policing and do not take %50 of your income to redistribute to the self victimized.

Your logical conclusion is non sequitor.

The point is that it is theft.

Whether they theif offers your "protection" for taking from you, is besides the point.

Actually, I'm curious ... can you give me an example of a state who's tax policy you covet?
