Now I see the video is making a point but without TAX it is hard for the country, tax money is usually used to improve the country, like schools, hospitals and all the other important stuff we need on a daily basis, like infrastructure.

That is true either, but that's easy to fix. Easy, if the aim of taxation wasn't a mass wealth transfer from the millions to a few.
In some countries, the amount paid by the government only to serve the public debt interests overcomes the total income tax revenue the government has.

Let the governments bring us accounting, transparency and choice, as opposed to the obscure "tax package" that we have nowadays and I'll be more than happy to participate for what I really use/owe, unlike now where it just feels like robbery. In it's current form, taxation is theft.

Not at all... Tax money is used for the development of the society

I don't want to be developed, society-wise. Who has the right to take my money to develop me society-wise if I don't give them permission? And if they develop other members of society with my money, that is double robbery.

Get rid of taxation and let members of society buy society improvements according to their own judgment and desires. Why let others judge me when my ideas are best for me?

Cool

I couldn't agree more. We could be great friends BADecker. Grin

Why taxation is theft, explained in a couple of minuts : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0-cgs51zEA

The fact that the state gives us "gifts" that what didn't ask for, as a return for paying taxes, doesn't legitimize the theft.

When you study the word "tax" in the legal dictionaries, if you study it deeply enough, you will find that it equates to "fraud."

Cool

So, we should descend into anarchy?

And live like apes with sticks,stones, stealing from each-other, not building anything, not having any regulations, any funds to build something useful?

Tax have a good purpose if we will consider it as a theft there will no public service. And as you said steal with each other (theft). We must see tax as a contribution for the good , I just see the tax as a good thing but excessive tax must be controlled.

Some people don't want public service. I never use the public bus which is subsidized by city government, which subsidies come from taxes. Why should I pay for something I don't want?

If you go to Walmart and buy some groceries, is such a public service? Rather, isn't it buying and selling what you want? You never have to give part of your Walmart groceries to some other guy in a different check-out lane, and he doesn't have to give any of his to you. So, why should we have to give some of our money to government to pay for things we don't want?

It would be a lot better to buy the services you want from government, and never be taxed for anything. If you didn't buy a share of the road, you can't use it until you buy your share.

tax is a lot of problems in a country, so many people are in arrears of taxes, I myself agree with the tax but if the management is good and can be accounted for, because most of the mismanagement is in the hands of the government, many officials are corrupt from tax money, maybe therefore many people do not trust their government and refuse to pay taxes

Paying tax is a government rule that every citizens on the country must follow. Whether simple person, poor, medium, and rich all are required to pay tax without any explanation to what is this, why we need this. Tax come from government that everybody now before born tax is smiling already. Even in the time of birth tax is there already. Tax in milk, wipes, pampers, and baby clothes and baby needs that can buy in the store. Tax is always working daily that the government catch it. It wasn't theft but the person whom have bad interest make tax distributable that the citizens become aggressive not to pay tax anymore but it cannot be.

No it's not theft it's a payment you make for the privilege of living in a civilized society.

If you don't want to be taxed at all, then your free to move to the jungle where there are no taxmen, but also no roads, schools, firemen, police, hospitals, etc etc.

I'm not a communist, but I tell you what, if my house was on fire I would not want to have to check if I had paid my
subscription to the fire-brigade service before ringing them up and asking for their help to save my property from my
bad luck.

People who want to live in a society and contribute nothing towards it but still want to be helped by that society in all
the myriad ways that society helps its members out, are some sort of selfish scumbags IMHO.

If I don't want it, but am forced to pay it, it is a tax. That's robbery.

Look at Brazil and many African governments to see that there is taxation in the jungle.

If I and a bunch of other people don't want government services, why should we be forced to pay for them. For example, those stupid roads are in the way of the rights-of-way so that I can't use the rights-of-way without having to travel on the stupid roads. And the dumb cops are worse than the crooks at times, but seem to be almost immune to prosecution. Stop taxing me so that I have enough funds to buy decent services, and the services I want... not the services you and a bunch of government jerks want me to have. What you and government are promoting is robbery.

Build a concrete house, and you won't need a fire brigade. What need do I have of a fire brigade when my house is concrete and I have my personal fire prevention installed? Why are you charging me through taxation to pay for your lack of wisdom in building your house?

I want to live in a society that buys what they want, or donates to help others... not a society that steals my money property from me.

"Heard from a French entrepreneur, a demonstration with figures that enlightens the reasons for our high unemployment rate.
When I give 100€ "gross" to one of my employees, in fact, it costs me 150€ because of all charges I have to pay for that.
From these 100 gross euros, my employee will get around 70€ after salary taxes deduction.
Then, he'll have to pay revenue taxes on this salary, around 30%, which will be 21€. So he has 49€ left.
However, on top of that, everything he buys has a 20% VAT tax on it, so, really, his purchasing power is only 39€.
End of the story, on 150€ spent on an employee, he'll get 39€ and the state gets 110€.
That's the cost of labour in France. This is how we have killed our industry and jobs. And if there is nothing done, this will only get worse..."

Quote from: ?? on ??

tax is a civic responsibility a gainfully employed citizen owe to his/her country, its an obligation you owe to your country, so as a responsibly employed citizen, it is imperative one pays his or her income tax to the government of ones country, but what i am against and will never support is multiple taxation, that is theft.

If they can force taxation once, they can do it twice, and can go all the way if they want, and make you their slave. If you enjoy slavery, and you voluntarily pay, then it is not taxation for you. Rather, it is organized donation (contribution).

Actually, they have gone all the way. You are their slave. And I am receiving the bounty from your taxation slavery. Please keep on volunteering. I am enjoying being paid by you.

No, I totally don't think so. Taxation just represents how a successful society and country may create public effort to make our environment more comfortable and convenient.

Taxation just represents how a
portion of society, or
a small dictatorial group in a society
can rule over a society.

If you voluntarily agree to be taxed, and then pay,
they aren't taxes for you. All they are is organized donations (contributions).

If you don't agree to be taxed,
but are forced or threatened into paying,
only then are they taxes for you.

Force or threat of force is what equates taxes with robbery.
Taxation is reduction of freedom.

Personally, I do feel it is theft, I never consented to any taxation. I feel that this video helps explain the video quite well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGMQZEIXBMs

I didn't agree that taxation is a theft, theft is getting a money without knowing the people you are getting from them. Taxation is all around the government and it is also helpful for our country because paying the right amount of tax can help our community grow if the government will not corrupt that money and put it inside their pocket. If we have a very good government then tax is always on a good hand.

We are all part of a free society. Why should somebody else be allowed to force me to pay for stuff I don't want in my freedom in society? Why can't we all buy what we want, and donate to what we want? Is our society free or not?

We are all part of a society, I don't see a problem paying tax if it helps build roads, infrastructure, and helps the less fortunate so they wont be stuck in poverty.
