I would say 10% tax is reasonable for limited, small governance financing.
Anything more than that is theft.
“Its A Wonderful Life” was about a much more local, and responsible banking system.
Before WWII, there were laws in states regarding “bank double liability” - Bank owners/shareholders were not only risking their own capital, they were responsible to pay back creditors/depositors to the bank in the case of failure. It made them extremely cautious.
Given currency links to gold, no Federal Reserve money printing, and extreme caution on the part of bankers, we actually had a very stable, fair, and NON POLITICAL financial sector
Today the prevailing attitude is that anything you keep of what you earn is theft of the “common good”.
Is there some new law I don’t know about? A lot of law that prevented you from posting the movies in question?
When I was a kid, I got really annoyed by Santa is Coming to town.
As soon as the powerful Winter Warlock turned good and joined Santa’s side, he became total wimp!

Where do Y’all live? Around here we have formed a community and we vote on taxes or those who implement taxes. Sometimes one side of the issue wins and sometimes the other. (School taxes have not done well.) We have agreed to abide by that by staying in the community as have those who move in. If enough people don’t like a tax we can get it put on the ballot.
All that is a bit of an oversimplification, but so is the statement that “taxation is theft”.
