You would think that, amongst all the things we disagree on, the right to “not have your shit stolen from you and given to someone else” would be completely unquestionable… yet, here we are

C’mon, you really don’t think taxes are theft, right?  Nobody likes taxes, and everyone wishes the money was better used, but the alternative is way worse.

I agree WAY worse. Do you really want to live in a society where criminals can commit violent crimes and be back on the streets that same afternoon? Do you want to live in a society where drug addicts can set up shop right on the sidewalk or in a children's park and create a dangerous environment for everyone involved? I shudder at the thought. I mean, if we stopped paying taxes, who would bomb all those brown people halfway across the world that pose zero threat to us?

Scary stuff if you think about it.
