Taxation
"Liberty
is incompatible with taxation. This despite that famous saying by Oliver
Wendell Holmes that "Taxation is the price we pay for civilization."
In fact, taxation is a most uncivilized way of obtaining funds, given that it
boils down to nothing less than extortion." - Tibor R. Machan
"Only the State obtains its revenue by coercion, by threatening dire penalties should the income not be forthcoming. That coercion is known as “taxation,” although in less regularized epochs it was often known as “tribute.” Taxation is theft, purely and simply even though it is theft on a grand and colossal scale which no acknowledged criminals could hope to match. It is a compulsory seizure of the property of the State’s inhabitants, or subjects." – Murrary N. Rothbard |
