Taxation Is Violence

Whenever you forcibly take something from someone, that is perpetrating violence against that person. Taxation, in that case, is violence against us. The only reason it doesn’t escalate into actual violence, in most cases, that we agree to pay because we know that the state will commit violence against us if we don’t pay. We will lose our freedom, our money, our families, eventually our lives, if we don’t pay the IRS. Unlike every other thing the government does, collecting its “revenues” – I can’t even really say that can I – revenues are monies made for buy a product or service willingly – what the government steals from us are definitely not revenues.  The state is violence: the only way they can do anything is by coercion. I would not be surprised if we start seeing Middle East style protests right here.
