well if we are putting it like that, you are trying to mooch of the "wellfare state" by not paying taxes

I think they're a necesarry evil,

But they're still theft,

You worked for your money, not a single person has any claim or entitlement to it than you, because you put your own time and life into earning it

I wouldn't call it theft because you choose to live in a country

I can't exactly found my own country anymore 😛

And pretty much nothing here is 100% clear like the earth center/sun center thing is, or 1+1=2
You could say that taxes are capital taken by force as a fact i suppose, but whether thats a problem, that entirely becomes a opinion

Can go to another country

every country has taxes

probably a reason for that

you could probably setup a big boat in international water and live there

Not every country has a income tax

because it wouldn't be a country without it, its not just welfare money,

Taxes pay for government to actually run, military etc

well, can always live in the woods like amonk or something

or build a cylindrical spinning space station, but they both cost a lot of money

international waters !

I'd love a space station, with a death-cannon 😦

there, I gave you perfect solution 😄

A military is basically necessary to have land, you could have your own military but it is much easier to pay a fee for one

not just easier but most would argue beneficial

@Dr.Wol Death cannon? you have caused international incidents before even leaving concept stage 😦

guy! i can barely afford my own house, how am i gonna scrape by enough dough for a realistic space station? 😄

speaking of that though, have you seen Isaac Arthur?

he got videos about space and futurism

gay space communism ?

but the point is, if you eliminate emotions,

Taxes are theft, because people can't say "no" to their money being taken

And i'm all for some degree of taxes (to an extent)

i'm not an ancap 😄 i despise those losers

well you could argue they are a type of commerce, since you get something out of the exchange

its forced though

Ya I'm more on the side that you agree to pay the taxes

You also have /some/ say over whether they continue as is or not via voting in democratic nations

But if the majority disagrees that you're obviously boned

If you don't have a job you don'd have to pay vey many taxes

I'm not good with recognizing accents but doesn't this Isac guy have really thic australian one ?

@Senny he got a speech disability

I agree to pay taxes for the benefit of the people who are in my country, because i'm a patriot :(

I do not however agree to pay taxes so some filth from where-ever can come here, claim they're sad and oppressed, and get a free house, food, clothing and entertainment

Just because they were on a boat somewhere

And a bunch of people dont agree to pay taxes for a large military, or safety nets, or all sorts of things

Technically you do agree to it, just indirectly

yeah you can't just spend money on stuff that never going to pay into the system in some way or another

like if someone agrees to buy 80 channels of cable they won't watch

cuz the 40 are good enough

If i could opt out the current tax system of my country, i would
