| Why is it amoral for a government to take taxes Is it possible that you're conflating the definitions of immoral and amoral? born in a hospital funded by taxes This is an assumption. There are many private hospitals. given vaccines and medication partly funded by taxes Vaccines are mandated. It's circular reasoning to say that the costs of someone taking vaccines are justification for taking their money when you forced them to take the vaccine. drive to/from home on roads built by taxes We had roads before direct taxation. The fact that we pay for them with tax money doesn't mean that they wouldn't exist without them. Comparatively, in countries such as Sweden and Norway, everyone pays taxes (much moreso than in the good old US of A), and yet the tax agency is rated the most trusted government entity in the government. I don't know anything of the political situation in Sweden or Norway. Does their tax collecting branch of government ever get used as a political weapon, the way the IRS does? |
