Taxation is NOT theft. Unreasonable taxation is.
Taxes are necessary to provide for the NECESSARY functions of government. Our tax system currently provides for extra dollars above what is needed for those necessary governmental functions so the POLITICIANS CAN USE OUR MONEY TO BUY VOTES!!!
THAT is the theft.

Please define ‘unreasonable’. WHOM defines the same?
100% income tax rate IS not only theft, but slavery. What is 5%, 10%, 50%...but gradations of slavery.
How can both be valid under the Constitution (13th vs. 16th)? How can REQUIRING one sign-away their 5th A. Rights to file *also* not violate the same? 4th A.? And, at its heart, the blatant violation of A1S8.
Not only involuntary, but class’ist. The ‘working poor’, the ‘retired’, etc. that DON’T pay, but continue to utilize govt that requires $$.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul is just the 2nd side of the same coin, just as unconstitutional\unethical.
