You cannot call it stealing.

If you take my property without my consent, it IS stealing. Just because you and the neighbors got together and decided, as a group, to seize my new car does NOT eliminate the fact you took my car without my permission.

I do not give my implied consent, just by living in America, to a majority vote to steal things I own. If a vote can take away my property, it was NEVER my property.

"I do not give my implied consent, just by living in America, to a majority vote to steal things I own. If a vote can take away my property, it was NEVER my property. "

You want everything America has to offer and don't want to foot any of the bill. Without taxes we wouldn't have roads and we would be a third world economy. Without taxes we wouldn't have defense and we would be speaking German or Russian or Chinese or who knows what. Without taxes we wouldn't have a lot of things.

So if your position is all taxes are stealiing, then I suggest you move to somewhere where there are no taxes.

Your name and your position reminds me of the following:

No King! No King! No King!

You said, "If a vote can take away my property, it was NEVER my property."

The most usual response to that argument is that property is a social and political construct, and has no existence outside of the human subjective reality. That is, you are merely expressing your opinion. Bakunin said, "Property is theft", and was expressing his opinion, equal in value to yours. Unless, of course, all opinions are not equally valid? If you accept that all opinions are NOT equally valid, then you cannot support "one man, one vote."

Politics trumps economics, property rights, your own "right to life", and mine as well. Not much can be done about it, although it is worth while to do what is possible.
