You think when citizens are forced to give up their hard earned dollars on the promise it will be returned decades later, they should not expect their money to be returned?

Dr. Walter E Williams often points out that taxation, is basically theft. Why trust a thief to return your money? For a short, easy to understand (compared to my posts) explanation:

I believe there is a more basic underlying problem that must be fixed first.

Why trust a thief to return your money?

As I said in post #28, I don’t expect it will be. But when I know a thief already has my money, I try to get it back.
