Some governments allow the tax-payer to choose how much money to allocate to what

Really, like which one?

What if a person chooses to allocate the tax money on himself, a.k.a not paying taxes. What will happen then? Cheesy
Dosen't work that way, they let you allocate a percentage of your taxes to what you want it to be used on, E.G: Health and care, Improved infrastructure, Research, Military, and so on.

You can't allocate your taxes to not pay, you have to pay, you just get to choose how your money will be spent.

Taxation is a necessity for government to function and balance its budget, for the majority of the governments, its also generally a safe way to gain revenue, and sometimes the only way for the government to gain revenue.

Some governments allow the tax-payer to choose how much money to allocate to what, that in my opinion is the right way to do taxes as people feel more contributive, rather than being forced into throwing cash without having much of a say on how its spent.

Some things are quite important for tax money, E.G: Firemen, Police (Althrough some can consider them bad, they are quite important) and so on.

Taxation where collected revenues are spent effectively to produce tangible benefits equal to the taxes collected are not theft.

Wasteful, destructive, spending on the part of a state which destroys wealth, productivity and innovation (currency might be said to represent these things) however could be considered worse than theft.
The problem with your first statement is there is no government that is effective in using money to produce benefits since governments by definition create a bureaucracy that consumes a part of the taxes collected and that does not take into account corruption.

Sounds reasonable. So, what makes you so special that you can do it? Are you an attorney?

No, i'm not a lawyer and i havent put out any legal advice here. What makes you think I did?

Quote
Courts and attorneys are people. They aren't necessarily the smartest people. It's just their focus. Besides, if what you say is true, they would have become kings over us long ago.

Yes they are people with the power of an army behind them, so it doesnt matter if they are wrong, you can appeal I think 3 times and then you are toast.

So if you find 3 bad judges, you are toast. That is the system for you.

So if 50% of the justice system is corrupt, then you have a 12.5% chance of losing a court case, no matter how right you are.

Well, we are almost to the point of everyone working for Government right now... except if they are on welfare.

Cool

Not everyone, otherwise  the local currencies would be worthless, and everyone have to be imported.

There are many people in manufacturing, but they are paid so little, because they need to sustain this system.


The people should really participate and do their job as well. Everyone should speak up and share their thoughts and opinion on things. This is one way to regulate those government acts that are obviously deemed useless and abusive.

people dont bite the hand that feeds them

Agreed. For example, the United States spent more than $2 trillion to invade Iraq. And they still have not achieved their objectives. That money should have been better spent on education and healthcare.

Decide what your problem is:

1. Corruption

Or

2. Material attrition

Because you are mistaking one for the other...

My problem is that economics teaches people that government spending increases the economy.

Which means that technically employing a person to dig a hole at morning and fill it up at afternoon, is a potential job.

Now imagine if every single person would be a holedigger, all employed by the government.

What would the economy look like?

Right. Start by filing a W-4 with your employer that has "n-a" on all the lines, but "EXEMPT" on line 7. Then sign it "non-assumpsit, your signature." And sue your employer if he doesn't stop withholding.

Since the W-2 is hearsay, and nobody will step up and swear in court that the amount on your W-2 is your gross income (unless you have signed some document saying that it is), nobody can prove what your gross income is.

Stand as a man/woman, without representation. Attorneys argue what the law is all the time. How does anyone think that you will ever understand it. You have an out there.

In court, if a person stands unrepresented, but rather, present, and requires an injured man or woman come forth to accuse him of the injury, there is no case without real injury. Standard law. But you have to stand not represented to use it.

Standard law is the way out regarding the IRS. Start by studying Karl Lentz, and then putting it all into action.

That only happens if you live in the 3rd world, the usa or communist nations like russia.

Reason why you dont see scadinavians crying about wars bad roads and a shitty universal healthcare system.

Oh but they have a lot of refugees, and if they keep coming in without contributing to the system, the system will quickly collapse.

Government people offer a benefit. If I don't want a government benefit, why should I pay for it?

It's for the greater good. You know wars, debt, incompetent education system, public roads that fall apart, and health services with corrupt doctors.

What is your problem with that? Are you are racist?

If I want road usage, let me pay for it through buying it, not through taxation. Or let me build my own roads.


Yes but if government roads would not fall apart, then who would give job to road workers? Because it's clearly a productive economic activity to build a shitty road and then fix it.

I mean earthquakes are definitely the most economically productive thing in the universe. Because it gives job to alot of architects, building workers, engineers.


Also if you have a car, you should break the window of it, and then spend money to repair it, because that gives jobs to the car mechanic, so your are helping the economy.


This is the wonderful keynesian economic theory.

As we can see, taxpayers paid for their own, but they did not know where their tax goes? We cannot assure that our local government uses the tax wisely? Also we do not know where are tax goes, is it for our own needs? Is it goes to the streets and house? Is it for developing our own country?

Yep. And this is pretty much why I believe that taxation on its own. Its process and its concept is not 'theft' on its own. The government who uses the funds for their personal gain are the ones who are the thief who steals from the people.

Of course it's not theft. you are getting something in return for the taxes you pay.

But it isn't ever fair. Let's say your taxation helps provide 10 government benefits. But you only have need of one of them.

Somebody else only pays enough taxes to cover 5 benefits. But he uses 10.

Not fair.

Let people buy their benefits. If they don't like the price, don't buy them. There are plenty of charitable, non-government organizations that give benefits to the poor. In some cases Government won't even let them do this.

Taxation is completely wrong.

For me imposing tax is needed to run an entire country. Who will pay for salary of government officials and staffs? Government can't do that by themselves only. The citizens is the life of a country. Without tax, theres no schools, hospitals and any government establishments that gives us benefits in return. But sometimes, government is just too abusive. They impose to much tax.

In my country, the salaried people have to pay their taxes. And even after that, we have to pay a toll tax to use some of the roads, and there is a tuition fee in schools and colleges. The government-run hospitals are also not 100% free. So the question is, why should I pay my taxes?

For private companies then.
If your government doesn't pay for community needs, it's simply exploiting you.
It's not new sadly.
It's not the taxes that are to blame, but the greed of your politicians and the inaction of the people.
