Theft = to take from someone who didnt want you to take from them Robbery is to intimidate someone to hand over their stuff, after you receive it you are also stealing too. Robbery is a form of theft. Gov robs, and it steals, it will steal your house/car/bank deposits if you dont pay. Everone has the right to keep the fruits of their own labor. Gov is a paracite.

Tax is theft, otherwise it would be called charity! If you want to be the best group of thieves in any area, then you need to convince people within that area theft is wrong, immoral and unjust. You don't believe this obviously because you are thieves after all, but it's important for you to get others believing it. Then you call your group 'the government' and you claim moral validity over the people in the name of virtue, morality, freedom and justice. You then explain that your theft is actually something else, something different to theft. You explain it away as 'taxation' a food or fuel of sorts for the governments very existence. You then invent the social contract, a tool to bind people into paying: it's unilateral government to citizen and implicit, unsigned and not formal, but you can then claim the right to use force against the people under the guise of morality and justice through the social contract but you will need to give them a vote to change their government leader from time to time, this is only to give the impression that people have a choice, but obviously we know they have no choice but to pay their taxes, which is are main objective after all. Then you teach people that without the government to support them they would be destroyed by 'the enemy', that without the government there would be no jobs, without the government there would be no police, laws, army, schools, hospitals, roads, food, money, no infrastructure and no future for you or your children. You get the point, you make them so reliant on the government that they believe their greatest fears will come true unless the government is strong, healthy and well fed on taxes, so that the government can grow and provide more for the people but you are actually taking from the people. You make them believe in this system so much and so strongly that you end up with an unquestioned monopoly on taxation and a supportive populous agreeing on mass that taxes are moral and for the greater good. Then the people will be so propagandised and conflicted by this system of taxation that they will have debates on different media forums, as to whether tax is actually theft and whether it's good or bad. At this point it doesn't matter, you have all the weapons, technology and man power working for you. That's when you know that you've conquered the people's minds and hearts. That's when you know you've made it, you are now a tax Baron, just as a dairy farmer has cows you have tax cattle. Report Post

Yes but it is necessary The alternative is either a plutocratic government funded by wealthy donors or an anarchy run by a bunch of fighting mobs. It is taking against a person's will so yes it is theft. And we should not mince words, we should be blunt and recognize things for what they are. But at the same time we have to realize that it's better than the alternatives. Posted by: MasturDbtor Report Post

Theft is taking from others against their will The government uses the police to forcefully collect taxes. The government is not exempt from morality; it must be held to the same standards as you or me. If I were to rob you, no matter the intention behind the action, whether for charity or infrastructure or selfishness, it is still immoral. I violated your rights and took from you against your will. Just because the government does it and not an individuals does not mean it is stealing. Report Post

Coercion is theft Theft is the forcibly removal of capital. You cannot opt out of taxation. Thus, taxation is a legalized form of theft.



Our ancestors held wars over a tax on tea and now we allow the government to get away with income tax. People need to understand that you don't need the government to watch over you like a parent. If public service actually needs to be done it can be done privately. Report Post

Yes and no. Theft is the taking of property without the owner's consent. Taxation is the taking of property from everyone who makes enough money through "legal" channels. Since many of the people who pay taxes do not consent, taxing them is theft. The only exception is when people who support taxation are taxed. Report Post

Lost My Federal Unemployment In NC Because NC Governor Changed The Rules And Feds Stopped Our Unemployment Here Starting JULY 1, 2013 I paid my taxes to this country and to my state all my working life. They have stolen federal unemployment from us here in NC. They have eliminated all the 4 Tiers starting 7/1/13. NC state unemployment has been reduced to 20 weeks from 26 weeks. Please read my article and see what precedent is being set in NC by Gov. McCrory. He should be tried for theft just as I would go to jail for not paying NC taxes. In this case the governor is worse because he is denying all NC citizens the right to Federal Unemployment that we all paid into doing our working lives.

Theft is Theft PERIOD Whether the money is used for health care or war is irrelevant. Forcing someone with the threat of violence to give them money is theft. It doesn't matter if it is given to someone else it is still and always will be THEFT. If a government fails to punish those who defend themselves enough to not pay taxes more people would stop paying. As long as people continue to feel they have a moral obligation to be robbed and resistance is futile, they will obediently continue to pay sometimes forgetting that the government is ready to use deadly force to ensure compliance.
