Taxation is Theft Because it's Involuntary and Permanently Denies People their Property... - 1 views

  • Taxation is theft because it is the use of aggression to deny another person their property. It doesn’t matter what their property is to be used for or what complicated arguments are made to justify it. Taxation is involuntary and it results in a person’s property being permanently taken. This is all that is necessary for our thesis to be proven.
  • Yet others will claim that taxes are payment for those services government provides. What if one doesn’t want those services? What if they are substandard? There are no answers to these questions because these alleged services are provided involuntarily. You can hardly call that a voluntary arrangement.
  • Taxation is theft because it involves a first use of violence in order to permanently acquire someone else’s property. State apologists may make excuses or wild conjecture in a vain attempt to justify this theft. But the fact remains that is theft. The only valid way to acquire someone else’s property is through voluntary interaction. Taxation is involuntary.

    This is an article that has several points as to why taxation is theft. Firstly, taxation is theft because it is the use of aggression to deny another person their property.This is because it involves the use of violence in order to permanently acquire someone else's property. As we know, taxes are used in order to give certain services to citizens. However, what if these citizens do not want these services? This is why taxation is considered theft.

    I think that this is a very good website because it shows that taxation is theft because it is taking away someones property. I also like the point that shows how it uses violence and how some people do not want the services that are provided from paying taxes.

Philosophy, et cetera: Why Taxation Is Not Theft - 2 views

      this page is useful because it gives good reasons why taxation is not theft but it is useful for our society to flourish. people agree to pay tax when they sign a contract for a job. no one forces you to pay taxes, because you signed a contract saying that you already would.
  •  
    There are three excellent arguments against the resolution that taxation is theft. It is hard to read so make sure your team can see at least two of the three arguments on this page.

    This was SOo hard to understand! But after reviewing it half a dozen times I found some really strong points and it'll really help me refute Thanks Gabe! :D

    This site shows the alternative to taxes and how our tax system is a lot more convenient at a local level. Anok (the blog writer) makes a point to explain that even without government we would still need some form of taxes and answer the much asked question "is taxation theft?".

    The website is an essay that someone has written. It shows the different points about why taxation is theft and how it is not always good.

    Even as an essay this is great for the debate it gives us so many refutations for strong points given by the other team

The Taxpayer's Bill of Rights - 0 views

  •  
    This site has a link to a PDF file that is the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights. I thought that this would help in the debate to prove that taxation isn't theft because in this scenario, the supposed thief (governement) is giving rights to the people it is "stealing" from. This proves that the government isn't stealing our money: it is taking a percentage of our incomes so that it may better maintain the society we treasure and thrive in. The PDF contains the 15 rights that a taxpayer enjoys.
