Forced labor at a fixed price. Communism.
If I steal(tax) a dollar from you to find the cure for cancer, or to shelter the homeless, or to feed the ducks, its still STEALING.
If I tax your income for ANYTHING that goes beyond the provision of national defence, police, courts and jails, it is stealing.
Meanwhile, forced labor at a fixed price is communism. Always.
The state doesn't own the people Roscoe, the people through the state provide the resouces neccessary to induce free men to do their bidding. If the state cannot do that, and cannot protect itself by the voluntary patriotic leanings of its members then it has died a natural and fair death.
Think of a state under attack from a superior power, and think of the point of surrender. What I am telling you is that a majority may not throw the lives of the minority in front of the bullet destined for them, or the state. Having only free men wage war provides that buffer.
Not to provide you with a free lunch at the expense of others? Bizarre.
