Happily. Or not so happily, as the case may be. I only have the energy for one at the moment...
5. Taxation is not theft.
Really? The government shouldn't exist? We should rely on charitable giving and corporate sponsorship to make sure the poor have food, basic research gets done, we have emergency first responders, and an army to protect us? Or, I guess if we all had lots of guns that last part would take care of itself. And the free and unregulated market will take care of the rest, now that I think of it. How silly of me. Gimme a fucking break.
It does not follow from the conclusion that taxation is theft that taxation isn't necessary or even immoral.
