Taxation is Theft
Thought for your day #19, Thurs 9/14/00.
I walk up to you on the street and tell you that if you don't give me the money in your pocket I will hurt you. You call for the police and they arrest me.
I spend 2 years in prison. It gives me a lot of time to think of a better plan. So, when I get out, I get together with many of my fellow prisoners and tell you that if you do not give us 10% of your money every month then we will not be able to protect you. You call the police and they arrest me.
I spend 20 years in prison. It gives me a lot of time to think of a much better plan. So, when I get out, I get together with many of my fellow prisoners. This time we call ourselves The Government. And I tell you that if you do not give me 50% of every single dollar you ever make or get in your entire life then I will hurt you. You call the police and they arrest YOU!
Hmmmmmmmmmm.....What's going on here?
Simply put, taxation is a violation of The Natural Law. Neither the masses of numbers that legislate it, nor the strength of the armies and police that enforce it, can change this fact.
This is philosophically true, and I have never heard, read or seen any answer to this. The only response offered is, "Maybe, but taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society."
That, too, is a lie, told by evil people to ignorant people to keep them from thinking for themselves.
Let me ask you 2 questions:
- Why, by what flight of fantasy, do we imagine that free people would not voluntarily pay for those products and services which they value? The answer is so obvious that it is almost painful to write....Of COURSE people voluntarily pay for those products and services they value. That's the basis of the $6,000,000,000,000 (That's 6 Trillion Dollars) per year U.S. economy....Yet, the evil people would have us believe, if taxation did not exist then there would be no police, no fire protection, no hospitals....If you will spend even 5 minutes actually thinking about this you will see how ridiculous it is.
- And if free people do not wish to voluntarily pay for the services they do not value, by what right should they be forced to do so? The clear answer is, as YHWH is my witness, they shouldn't.
Look.....Enough philosophy. Let's look at this practically.
Stop stealing (about) half of every person's money as taxes. With that money people would be free to pay for:
 | Police |
| Firemen |
| 911 Emergency services |
| Weather Satellites |
| etc...... |
I could mention centuries of Church-run hospitals, orphanages, etc....I could talk about all of the children in the Far East I personally and hundreds of thousands like me have helped through World Vision, without one tax dollar ever being spent....I could talk about so many of our great Colleges and Universities which started as Church outreaches......I could talk about the billions of dollars people voluntarily give annually in this country alone to help support those causes they passionately believe in....I could talk about Jerry Lewis' MDA program......I could actually fill your entire computer with the details and stories of wonderful people, already obscenely overtaxed, still giving of their time, talent and treasure to those human endeavors they value.....
It is one of the great lies that all of these things would disappear if there was no taxation....
People even today voluntarily donate millions, even BILLIONS of dollars to police and firefighter associations and health research and library associations and....and....and....and.....above and beyond what they are already taxed.
The Great Taxation Lie expects you to believe that all of those wonderful people (and yes, I am one of them) would, with all of their money in their own pockets, suddenly decide to pay nothing, and that society as we know it would crumble.
It is so pathetically stupid that it can only be sustained by endless repetition, indoctrinating mind-dead sheep into thoughtless obedience.
In other words, The so-called-church.
Next....Give What to Caesar?
