Did you know, in Switzerland we can vote if we want taxes. The people voted yes.
51 decide the fate of the 100.
It was along the lines of 75% to 25%. And yes, that's how a democracy works.
Of those that voted. Who counted the votes?
Thank you, generous tipper. Tippers are always lucky👍
if we have a large enough group it is morally ok for the majority to threaten the minority?
& the people who vote no to the taxes dont have their money taken away?
I know. Switzerland is not volyntarist, but it is a small federal state with decentralized cantons and low taxes which is almost as awesome. CHs success is clear proof of that.
In Oregon 1 person can decide to increase taxes for everyone if that one person was the only one that votes. Voting is oppression.
Logical. All else aside, either taxes or printing money will pay for public goods
There is no link to theft in that diagram. It links to force, but not to theft. The backwards link doesn't support the idea that taxes are theft.
Not sure which backwards link you’re talking about. But force has 4 definitions in the image. As a noun it’s synonymous with threat as a verb it is doing something against
another’s will. Stealing is taking (another person’s property) against their will (or without their permission). A specific case of the use of force.
Taking something with a threat of force is theft.
A 'mea culpa' is improperly using the word "theft"
when "robbery" or archaic "reavery" is more correct.
Taking by force or threat of violence.
"Theft" is agnostic to violence.
It doesn't really what we call it. I call it theft, you can call it reavery, extortion, robbery or whatever. The outcome is the same.
