RE: From Bitcoin ATMs, to City Roads and Human Lives, Government (violence-based "regulation") Ruins Everything
Could you please outline this statement a bit, I'm not 100% clear to get the gist of it?
The funds are not acquired with the consent of the funders, but at gunpoint.
Sure. Thanks for your level-headed response. All taxes are ultimately taken under the threat of violence, regardless of what they will be used for. Even if the money is used for a children’s hospital, taking money under threat of violence is always immoral.
Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, the tax collection is not based on a voluntary basis. And yes, I'm also not motivated paying tax (especially when I have to pay twice or three times...example for further income)
We (Central Europe/Austria) have such unique living conditions, which is partially attributed/linked to the collected taxes that enabled infrastructure/social projects to be fulfilled.
However I still understand your point of view and agree that the way taxes are collected is not something we should be proud of and therefore endorse upcoming improvements in this topic. i.e deregulation of state
unfortunately is my vote not that valuable :)
