Taxation Is Theft: New Design + Civil Disobedience Quotes

Life is exactly like Grand Theft Auto. But instead of a Pegassi Infernus that you just stole two minutes ago, you drive a ‘97 Geo Prizm with an AM-only radio. And instead of doing sweet jumps that end in crowds of pedestrians, you work the third shift at a jar factory. And instead of only paying fines when you are arrested or literally die, you have to fork over 30 percent of your income to people who have dedicated their lives to legalizing new ways of taking even more from you.

(Sales) Taxation is Theft

Guest Post by Ron Paul

Theft is defined as “the taking of another person’s property or services without that person’s permission or consent.”

Almost invariably, governments pass tax laws and set tax rates without any consultation with the citizenry. Further, no final approval is sought by the citizenry that they consent to the tax or the rates. It is simply imposed.

Most of us tend not to regard taxation as theft, yet, by definition, that’s exactly what it is.

TAXATION IS THEFT

This video was sent to me by my 22 year old newly employed son. He found it to be funny. I bet this video wouldn’t have had any impression on him a year ago when he was a college student. But he now sees how the government leeches extract a huge portion of his pay at the point of a gun. All of the Bernie Sanders loving college students will have a different opinion in five years when they see 40% of their pay confiscated by government thugs, with no benefit to them.
