Why would anyone attack a beloved functionary of a beloved government (all functionaries and governments are beloved)? From Allan Stevo at lewrockwell.com:
What do you call a system in which a person is forced to work for someone else without pay?
Slavery.
Each year adults all over the “developed” world spend the first half of the year working without pay, in a form of slavery creatively called the income tax.
It’s slavery.
Doesn’t matter what foolish name they give it.
Each year, tens of thousands of people around the globe learn who really owns their home when they neglect to pay taxes on it and are forced out.
Property tax they call it. No matter whose name is on the deed, skip your property tax payments and be reminded that you’re just a tenant with no actual property rights.
It’s tenancy.
Doesn’t matter what foolish name they give it.
I make something. You like it. You offer to buy it from me. I say yes. We agree to a price, and you pull out the money. Some guy sticks his hand through the window and takes 13% of the money just as it’s passing between your hands and mine.
That’s stealing.
Doesn’t matter what foolish name they give it.
It doesn’t matter if it’s 1%, 13%, or 21%. It’s still stealing. There’s no nominal amount of stealing that’s appropriate. There’s no justifiable quantity. There’s no moral amount that can be stolen. It’s all bad.
I don’t care if the guy calls it sales tax, VAT, or protection money, the money is still stolen.
