I remember asking my dad this question in 1985 when I got my first corporate paycheck a few weeks after graduating high school. I’ve been hard at slaving ever since.
the issue here is stealing. Stealing implies two things:
the object stolen is rightfully someone else' s property
the one subject to the steal did nothing to prevent it, thereby setting up a basis on which the thief could reasonably assume to have mandate to take it.
Your focus is on no.1. My focus is on no.2. Why? Because the system is setup so, that protest against the taking is either:
falling on deaf ears
the hurdle of putting it into evidence is high
your means of enforcement of your rights have been eroded.
Putting a system back on the footing of right-respecting, requires abolishment of it. Before that can happen, people need to right themselves. And to do that both no 1 and 2 are needed.
I'll have to see if I can find the video that showed how your #2 came to be. It showed small towns growing into larger towns, and highlighted the structure and template for control, like the sheriff and incorporation - one by one, replicated over and over until the entire land was blanketed in a matrix of "municipal control"...
It had a southern "down home" kinda slow pace to the video... which brilliantly illustrated the proverbial "frog in a pot set to boil" sort of creep as it all went down. I'll have to search for it again...
In this video, several points are made about our daily lives here on earth. Particularly the fact that we never really own our property and property taxes keep everyone constantly on the gerbil wheel to "keep the sheriff off the doorstep" until your last dying day.
It's rather repugnant that they've got us squeezed from cradle to grave and these "governments", which in theory are SUPPOSED TO be working for the common good of the country's citizens, do just the opposite.
Eliminating property tax in the US would be monumental. Many bring up the idea that "municipal services" need to be paid for like trash pickup and street maintenance... but those things could be paid for in other ways - and they would be. Think about it...roads would certainly still get built and maintained by us no matter what.
These incorporated towns are businesses... and if you take a moment to roughly tally up how much money is collected (a staggering amount) and hold it up against what we're actually getting... MANY questions come up ...
Yep, I've pointed this out countless times to no avail. It usually results in 1 jagoff making a joke about not driving on roads, or electricity while the other lemmings nod in agreement.
If you must pay any of your income to an entity that's pointing a gun at you, that's slavery...plain and simple! And...there's only one thing worse than slavery...that's being a slave and at the same time believing you are free!

At 0%. Taxation is theft. Slavery is taxation.

Thanks for the thoughtful insights RTS...
I agree 100%

Wow, Of course it happened that way, slowly creeping ...
It would be great if you can find it and post it here. I would be most interested in seeing it.

It'd be really great if he stayed the hell off our roads then, wouldn't it? 😁
How Governments Could Save the World (If They Cared)
If you must pay any of your income to an entity that's pointing a gun at you, that's slavery...plain and simple! And...there's only one thing worse than slavery...that's being a slave and at the same time believing you are free!
I would probably say at 99 percent it becomes indentured servitude, which still looks like slavery if you squint a little.
To me if one can’t quite anytime or as s/he wish the that’s slavery
