Taxes are theft

[Mavorpen]

Yandere has won at this juncture.

And here I almost took you seriously.

[Franzoesische Republik]

Because reason and arguments are for commies.

Or not.

I can't wait for the thread to dissolve into "uh-huh!" and "nuh-uh!" arguing. Looking at the OP, this level of childishness is pretty much par for the course.

It wasn't to be taken seriously, as I'd hoped you'd have worked out from the even-more-so-than-usual long-windedness of the post, and also the V for Vendetta reference.

Or the qualifier, 'at this juncture'.

Hence why I said almost.

So again,could anyone please tell me what's wrong with choosing for yourself how you want your taxes to be spent rather than letting someone else do it for you? (In the scenario in which the entire population would possess basic education and intellectual capability?)

Because services should be funded by the amount of money they need rather than how much people want to give.

Because I don't like poor people, and I choose to let poor people starve because I don't realize that my taxes keep them alive.

Taxes aren't yours. They are the property of the government, end of.

Would you advocate tenants choosing how landlords spend their money?

[Orenica]

My friend, other people are my enemies. I do not care about my enemies. They could die on the streets for all I care, my fellow friends are only my other like-minded libertarian capitalists.

Who paid for those streets?

And if the altruistic argument doesn't work for you, consider that when most people in a society are healthy, have a job, have a disposable income, etc. that actually keeps the economy going and gives businesses a reason to hire more people. Because no company is going to hire more people if they aren't selling more products, no matter how low their taxes are. And if our economy is in the shitter and you lose your job, it won't matter whether you have an income tax or not.

Some analogy you have there.This isn't 15th century Europe,tenant =/= social class.

The tenant/landlord scenario is equitable to the taxpayer/government one.

Answer the question, please.

So you do admit it's an outdated system reminiscent to Feudalism?

You really don't know what analagies are do you?

Nice spelling. Funny for you to say that when you can't even properly say it.

So you want to abolish property? Or just make it so squatters have more rights than owners?

Communist.

Thank you. So are we to assume you have nothing worthwhile to contribute?

Wait, why is spelling relevant?

How the heck is being able to choose between the private and the public sector communist?

Well. Let's say corporate CEOs bribe taxpayers into choosing their money to be spent into those same corporations and the CEOs' salaries. You advocate that?

You mean like voting where your money goes?

Or do you mean the stupid Libertarian bullshit of your taxes is your money so therefore you get to institute a dictatorship that controls where the taxes go?

Still waiting for an answer.

You just said that the idea of tenants and landlords is feudal. Which, in context, implies that you dislike it.

So, you hate property, and thus are a communist.
