@dana-edwards Taxes are necessary and essential for our technology to progress and our economy to thrive. Excessive taxation is indeed theft and that's another story.

But our countries' infrastructure would be non existent without taxation. Road networks, airports, harbours, telecommunication networks, public hospitals and so on wouldn't be available without taxation. We woudln't have constructed huge cargo ships and long railways without taxes. Because all of those mentioned above need funding.

Again, there's a difference between reasonable taxation and theft.
