I like how you support the system that China said that Russia did wrong and that Albania said that China did wrong, and even though that the system you promote has "never been done correctly" in over 100 years, only a Nazi would say it was a bad idea.

If taxation is theft, then isn't rent also theft? Yet libertarians tend to see taxation as theft and rent as not theft. What's the difference though? Assuming that you don't live in an authoritarian shithole, you can avoid paying taxes to the country by giving up citizenship and leaving, just like you can avoid paying rent by moving out.
As far as I can tell, the only difference is that there is basically no place on the planet where the local authorities won't tax you. But if the same was true of rent, and there was literally no place a renter could go and live without paying rent or buying a house, which actually is pretty close to true, then would libertarians change their minds and say that rent is also theft? Like, at what point does "having no options other than to pay money to somebody" go from consensual economic exchange to theft, exactly?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Technically there is no point where this occurs, this idea relies on the idea one party is entitled to the shelter owned by someone else. "Theft" implies something was taken, this is just not providing something that was never held by the other party in the first place.
I think lolberts are r-slurred but this kind of argument seems to be easy to refute using their logic.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
One could argue that by not giving up citizenship and leaving the country, a person consents to eventually pay a bill in exchange for the services that the government provides him with over the course of a given year. Thus when the government demands tax money, it is simply demanding to be paid for services that it has provided, with both parties' consent to the agreement.
I suppose the difficulty is that there is no explicit contract which spells out the services that the government will provide in exchange for the taxes. There really should be one, as long as there isn't one the libertarians do have a point.

If you want to earn your money in American dollars, then you are consenting to taxation.You can choose to leave and earn money in another country's currency, in which case you will consent to pay them taxes.Or you can choose to not earn any money, in which case you are opting out of taxation.Or you can choose to live your life through a barter system, only engaging in exchange through Craig's List swap ads, in which case you are also opting out of taxation. Taxes are simply the cost of using a stable form of currency for exchange.:

Question. If Peasants were allowed to live and were provided shelter during the Middle Ages in exchange for labor. How much different is that from today when Homelessness is criminalized, and people are mostly only making enough to meet rent/bank payments and other bills that go with living as a human? Is Peasants refused work. They were kicked out of the shelter they had and were imprisoned or branded. The same thing happens today. The shape changed but the end result is the same. If you refuse work, you lose shelter. You then get "branded" with a bad credit score, and are sent to Prison "which is slavery". "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, ((except as a punishment for a crime)), where the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction"Things considered a crime......Sleeping or camping in public spacesEating in public spacesSitting in public spacesAsking for money or resources in public spacesLoiterin...:

I don't agree with democracy. Other people don't get to make decisions for me, and I don't get to make decisions for other people.Even if somehow people did have the authority to make decisions for me, the majority have certainly not given consent for the government to do what it has done. If for example you can vote for a politician who will kill a million people in a war, or a different politician who will only kill 100,000, and you vote for the guy who will kill 100,000, that does not mean you consent to what that politician is going to do. It just means you have chosen the lessor of two evils upon being forced into a bad situation:

Not to be a peepee but having s*x with a consenting drunk person can be r*pe, people willingly sold themselves into slavery, and price gouging in emergency situations is robbery. If you don't want to pay taxes don't perform activities or own property that are taxed. If you decide to do those things then you are consenting to being taxed.:

go to some bum who went to a $60k/year art school 
on student 
loans to be a Starbucks 
batista or some high school 
dropout who decided to get nutted-in and sprout 4 spawns they could never
