The nature of humans is kind and caring, the nature of Governments is more evil than you could ever imagine. There are live examples of that, during the Egyptian protests in 2011, the fabricated "Arabian Spring" which is actually the "Arabian Fall", Egyptians did not protest, they were peacefully sitting in Tahrir square with no problems at all, they knew that Governments love an excuse to become violent so they tried to be as quiet as they possibly could, and Governments love violence because it is just easier and faster this way. All of a sudden you see in the background people approaching from a dark alley, around 8-10 guys, they threw stones at the police and one of the threw a Molotov cocktail, so naturally the police would start shooting back since they think protesters started the violence. Right after the first 10 seconds of hell breaking loose, the same ones that started it ran back into the dark alley, who do you think they work for? after that many people died, 18 year old guys shot straight in the head and killed in plain sight, That is how a Government works, that is how they will always work.

Speaking of Tax, it is the fuel the feeds the fire, and we are the ones paying for it. I would like to share the Islamic point of view about tax, not because of the religion, but I believe in the reason behind Islam forbidding permanent tax. There are rules that tax has to fall under for it to be valid, 1. It has to have a visible purpose. 2. It has to be temporary. 3. It should not be forced on who cannot afford it. These are the three simple rules about Tax in Islam, even though all what we call Islamic countries don't follow that rule including where I live.

An Example of that, let us say you live in a Village and some people expect a flood to happen in the upcoming winter, after Six months this flood will destroy the village, now as common sense you would need to build some type of Barrier or a dam to protect the village right? so the wiseman of the town says, we need to collect a certain amount per month from every person who can afford it "voluntaryism" for a length of six months, so we can build the dam and protect our village. This way of tax or "fund raise" would be fine since after the dam is built, you actually saw your monthly payments go to a purpose that benefited the village, and after that there is no monthly payment anymore. That is a purpose, temporary and not forced on people to pay. Governments force permanent tax on people, permanent tax has no purpose, it goes to the pockets of the few and a very tiny percentage of it gets spent on roads and civil rights so they can keep convincing people their tax is going to the right place.

I am sorry for the long reply, I had to let it out after I saw your strong article :) Thank you and May peace be with you.
