"Taxation is Theft."
"Taxation is theft" is a phrase I've been seeing a lot lately. Famous "Libertarians" like Penn Jillette are pictured with some quote remarking that taxation is equivalent to the government robbing us at gun point. Which is fine. He's allowed his opinion about that, and I certainly agree with Jillette on other things (his story about becoming an atheist is great, I think).
So, I want to work through this, on the internet, so that we can all be on the same page.
If taxation is theft, and theft is wrong, let us stop taxation.
Christmas is a time for giving, being with family and friends, and hating every other asshole out there in the shops and on the roads also trying to spread joy and share in the Christmas spirit. Similarly, Hanukkah is a time for Jewish people to desperately try to feel relevant during Christmastime.
