If the tax is voluntary, then it is not theft. If you know a transaction will be taxed, and you voluntarily engage in the transaction, then you cannot claim the gov't stole your property. You implicitly consent to the tax by voluntarily engaging in a taxable exchange.

Also, in the United States, not all exchanges are taxable events.

did someone force you to work for pay that would be taxed? did you know before getting the job that the pay would be taxed?

If the government finds out you are not reporting taxable income they will fine you and/or put you in jail.
Again, this is not a choice.
I do agree there should be some taxes but the amount to which the Canadian population is taxed is unfair and absurd. One person should not have to pay more than 10% of his money to taxation.

Are gifts of food taxed? if a person gives a starving person a loaf of bread, will that transaction be taxed?
>>
>>130833335
So by your own explanation taxation isn't theft because it is constitutional. Has nothing to do with knowing whether or not a transaction is taxed before making it somehow making it into voluntary. The concept of compulsory levying of the tax/extra cost in order to do business in the first place is super ordinate to the decision to make the exchange.

Compare it to a local mafia threatening to burn your business down if you don't pay them. Maybe the first payment is aggression... but if they inform you that they will be back weekly to collect more and you then don't sell your business and leave... Does that make future payments voluntary?

>>
>>130834193
You have not understood my point, I'll try to explain in different words since you may have some learning disability..

Taxation isn't necessarily theft. Theft requires a taking of another's property without his consent. If the person being taxed CONSENTS to the tax, then it is not theft. Consent can be given explicitly or implicitly. What I am highlighting in this post is consent by implication. For example, if you know a certain transaction will be taxed if you engage in it, and then you engage in that transaction, then it is implied that you have consented to the tax.

Your hypothetical is an example of extortion, and not of taxation and therefore does not apply here.

>>130834763

Protection fee isn't necessarily theft. Theft requires a taking of another's property without his consent. If the person being offered protection CONSENTS to the fee, then it is not theft. Consent can be given explicitly or implicitly. What I am highlighting in this post is consent by implication. For example, if you know a certain business will be offered protection if you engage in it, and then you engage in that deal, then it is implied that you have consented to the fee.
>>
>>130834924
You're right that my example can't be perfect because it is a unique relationship.

You and the shop you are doing business with can't freely decide to transact without paying the required fees/taxes without being subject to violence. That situation as a closed system can't be described as voluntary. The added piece of information that "the tax is constitutional" definitely changes the situation but THAT is the part that changes the nature of voluntary / involuntary. Not your consent in the moment to make a purchase.
>>
>>130834924
Specifically I'm not saying taxation is theft. But I am saying your reasoning is flawed here.

If someone wants to open a shop in the US they know they will be subject to various taxes. No one forces them to open a shop. Similarly, if you go to a shop to make a purchase, you know that transaction will be subject to various taxes. No one forces them to make the purchase.

Purely voluntary exchange made with the knowledge that taxes will be imposed.

Yes.

Any questions? It's a simple concept. If you force someone to give you their money that makes you a theif.

You can dress it up and call it something different, but you are forcing someone to give you their money AKA theft.

This triggers burgers who don't understand they are being ripped off.

Social contract. If you don't like it you have the option of going off-grid and living alone in the mountains or something.

I'll support politicians who want to lower taxes to a more reasonable level, but ancaps and mem-tier libertarians can fuck off.

You're right, its not theft if there is consent. The problem is that you are forced to consent in order to buy the necesseties to live.

Untill you can opt out of tax, and therefore the services it provides, it will always be theft.

>>130836876
That's fine, no one is forcing you to. But the minute you engage in an exchange which is taxable, you have consented to the tax by implication

that's likely the result, depending on the specific facts of the case. however, when they opened the shop they did so knowing they'd be subject to taxation

>>130837120
Yes, if you force someone to give you money that is theft. However, if you say, "If you engage in certain conduct, like buying a car, you will be taxed on the transaction," then there is an opportunity for the person to choose not to pay that particular tax.

Well you have a tautology here. You've defined voluntary as "things that you do in addition to the things that you must do because if you don't do them you will be subject to violence" and then called paying/requiring sales tax as voluntary.

Likening nature forcing you to work to the government forcing you to pay taxes is still a false equivalency and still entirely due to your conflating negative and positive liberties.

>You're just talking about two different ways of saying what is essentially the same thing. Dying of old age could be described as 'nature killing/claiming a victim'
It's not. Killing is active, dying is passive. There must be an agent for an ethical evaluation to be possible. You can't ethically judge the erosion of a cliff through the ages, just like you cannot judge a person's dying of old age. There is no action, no decision made, and no intent for you to judge. It's merely an event. When the state tells you to pay up or else, there is an agent. You can judge the actions of the government on an ethical basis. When you stop working, nobody comes for you. Nothing happens. The only thing you can judge here is your decision. You cannot ethically indict nature.

So no, "nature is oppressing me", is not an argument.

Theft would be if you didn't get anything in return. You do get infrastructure, safety services, in other countries people also get healthcare and higher education. It's not theft, it's forced business, and it's forced for a reason - you cannot live without those (try, if you don't believe me) and you want them/ Now, whether the price is fair or not is up to discussion, but to claim this is theft is retarded and that's what anti-tax-fags are - retards.

You believe tax is theft? Walk through the forest and swamp to grocery store. Break a leg and don't call medical assistance. Set your house on fire, stay in it and shoot firemen coming to help you (ok, I was kidding, don't do that. Or just give warning shots). Or simply die.

If I rob you of $50 and for some reason decide to give $5 back, it is still theft. If I steal your car, but bring it back intact and with the tank filled, it's still theft. "Forced business" is theft. You're forcibly seizing someone's assets, whether you offer something in return doesn't in any way change that. It hinges entirely on the lack of consent which you admit. You can't on an ethical basis argue for taxes with the presupposition of all forms of theft being wrong; taxation is theft.

Now, you can absolutely argue that presupposition itself because as you say taxes do end up doing a hell of a lot of good.

Yes they are.
Taxation is contingent on you earning an income or purchasing goods. Your doing so is not a form of consent to the action of the state saying "pay up, or else", nor is buying a car consenting to it being stolen, or carrying cash consenting to be robbed. You already had about half a dozen analogies in this thread showing how ludicrous that form of thinking is before you made that laughable point.

Pretending you can absolve an agent with the justification that his actions are contingent on another's is ridiculous and not an argument.

I'm not sure that it is in all situations. I do think the U.S. taxes everything way too much.

I see being in society as part of a social contract and part of that contract is paying whatever small amount in necessary to maintain the vital functions of society that the free market cannot due to self-interest inherent in human beings.

The ancap society would be nice if it could work. Few things I hate more than taxes, but I don't see any way around minor taxation. If someone has a way around that problem, I'd love to hear it.

I think it would be pretty easy to pass a bill which would allow citizens to sign out of tax. However, passing all the other bills that would be necessary for the execution of no-tax bill to be fair to tax-paying cirizens, now that would be hell.

I'll give you an example on how it should be done in Poland, so the healthcare bill does not apply to Murrica and high education bill is already in works there, but I want it to be also as relevant as possible to Yuropean countris.

To be fair to those who choose to pay taxes, the government would also need to pass, among others, such bills as:
- allowing grocery stores and other kinds of stores to sell defective goods and expired/outdated foods, which are being thrown into trash to the loss of the stores because taxfunded offices such as Polish UOKiK control the quality of products admissible for sale.
- deprive non-taxpayers of the right to state funded medical help
- also, since in some cases medical help won't waste time to check whether you pay taxes or not because your life is at stake (in an accident or something), and firefighters certainly won't check if you pay taxes and decide not to extinguish the fire, because the fire could spread on the property of taxpayers, the government would have to pass a bill which would allow them to issue you a bill
- if you didn't pay the bill, you would go to prison, the accommodation, heating, guarding and food are paid for from taxes, so the government would also have to pass a bill which would allow prisons to issue you a bill, or better, force you to work for you being there
- also, the bill allowing the police to give you a ticket or arrest you for using roads and pavements would be necessary
- another bill to deprive non-taxpayers of the right of being in public areas such as parks, marketplaces etc. plus state owned forests, as well as increasing taxes to fund the guards which would check the id's of people trying to enter to check if they pay taxes.

Basically stealing food and throwing scraps to peasants so they don't rebel against the authority, there is nothing noble about it. Socialists (like Hitler too) try to give it some high and mighty purpose but in essence it is, was and always will be that what i said

Ancaps are fundamentally wrong because they assume the goal of society should be to maximize total wealth, when really it should be maximizing the cultural health of your race.

Taxation is theft. If I am buying something from a street vendor, we will never pay taxes. We will only pay taxes when government men with guns are there to force us to pay taxes.

You seem to have a hard time with English. Are you that same nazi roleplayer I retorted here >>130838441 ? If so you should answer that. If not I'm surprised by the low quality of our naziposters. Two in a row is quite the coincidence.

It's not forcing you to work, no. It's not forcing you to purchase goods. It is forcing you to pay taxes on that income, and it is forcing the business from which you purchase goods to pay taxes. The fact that that forcing is contingent on another action (earning an income/selling goods) does not imply consent for being taxes on the grounds that you work, or sell goods. That's your argument, your entire argument. That you only get taxed if you work, so by working you consent to being taxed. That taxation is by nature consensual, since it's contingent on your working and you chose to work.

That's not how ethics works. You can't absolve the agent with the justification that his actions were contingent on another's. You have plenty of analogies in this very thread showing you how ridiculous that train of thought is, and had them before you even made that point.
If you don't start making some sense, you'll have to goad someone else into replying.

but this makes no logic sense and it's been proved time and again in this thread. there is no "implicit consent" and even if there was, "explict consent" would trump it and cause a fundamental logic flaw in your argument. what if i decided to say NO when government agents came to steal taxes from me and a second part of a transaction that has nothing to do with the government? who decides that implict consent has more value than explicit consent in this case? the government? why? because force? then how isn't that stealing? how is that legitmate?

Opportunity is immeasurable, the only grounds used to determine it is results and the only solutions to the non-problem of inequity are punishments and outright discrimination. There is no one advocating equality of opportunity who isn't in effect advocating equity - equality of results.

There is no way to quantify, or even prove the existence of an inequality of opportunity never mind fixing it. No, those classical liberals you jerk off to weren't for equality of opportunity; they were for equal treatment. That the state act morally and treat people the same. Not for treating incompetent niggers favorably to achieve some vague nonsense like "equal opportunity".

From the need for central authority and an enforced framework of morality (rule of law, etc). Be happy that you live in the only country on the planet that actually took philosophical and moral questions into consideration before drafting your founding document.

The rest of the world is living in the remnants monarchies and communism. Where does the government derive the right to tax everyone in Europe? Well... they just can. In America? Your Constitution specifically lays out that the government needs to levy taxes as a necessary evil, and the reasoning behind it is carefully laid out by your founders in the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers.
>>
>Tax is illiegal
Let's formulate it like that: You live on someone's property (your state) and have the ability to use its services (roads, hospitals, police security, even playgrounds), that's what you pay taxes for.

So in the spherical vacuum the state shall use the taxes only for your wealth and security (lets go with germany for example), which means that 100% of the taxes have the possibility to be directly used by you (clean streets, new playgrounds, whatever you can imagine you expect from state).

>little insert: by the way tax is not only the thing you pay each month from your income, everything you buy is taxed too, so you can imagine it as if you are paying tax twice - even when you don't earn "white" money you still pay those taxes indirectly

Now to the problem: Whaat if the state uses its tax money they collected from people like you not for the people who paid them, but for their own unreasonable wishes? For example to bring and feed millions of people who doesn't even belong here?

It is extremely simple. Don't pay your taxes. They'll tell you to pay up, or else, and if you don't you'll be fined and sent to prison.

I did.
>Is the state forcing you to earn an "income"? No.
>You choose to do so because it's the easier way to live. Ergo you willingly participate in the transaction.
Your argument is that because you decide to work, you implicitly agree to pay taxes. That's a faulty argument. You can't absolve the agent with the justification that his actions were contingent on another's.
>>
>>130845790
First of all, I don't jerk off to classical liberal ideology or any political ideology. Secondly, equality of opportunity and equity are mutually exclusive ideas. To bring about equity, you have to sacrifice equality of opportunity and vice versa.

I think we're talking past each other by confusing terms. Let's call it equal treatment as that seems to be your preferred term for it. That's certainly not a leftist ideal, but it is a liberal one. That's the point I was making as an aside. leftists are not liberal and liberals are not leftists.

well, the land is the property of the state so naturally you would have to either accept that or leave

the state will usually have laws or a constitution restricting its actions, serving as a sort of contract with the members, which would usually be intended to prevent such cases

but it's the state's property, so that's the way it is.

We're willing to grant members of the group exclusive ownership of things to the extent that doing so benefits the group, for example, granting people their own homes gives them some stability and security, and both these things will let them contribute more

However, property rights aren't seen as sacred, so if someone for instance, buys up all the houses and uses that position of power charge to charge extortionate rents, respecting their rights would be actively detrimental, so we wouldn't

You are technically correct. But you are making someone make the choice between doing work and not doing work.
What happens when they say: ok you are taxing me so much I won't get anything out of working so I wont work. You get a couple of options: Ok you die from starvation then, ok we will feed you, ok you get a bullet.
If the answer is one then people can blame you for starving people to death. If the answer is two nobody will work and you will have to chose another answer. And if the answer is three then you end up like the USSR.
