why would that violate people's rights
what do taxes have to do with rights?
Alright, I'll concede your point - property ownership is a right.
taxes are overhead nessecary to facilitate gov
Because you're ignoring the fundamental part of choice.
property ownership rights are like any other rights; stem from the conditional agreement between the government and it's people
i mean there can be choice involved
people could vote on it
rights MUST be secured
Except not really.
even directly
they aren't free
why not really
constant vigilance is a cost
don't pay the cost? not more rights
A good example. Where your tax money goes. What if you don't want your taxes going to pointless foreign wars.
I mean, you're paying the money. Shouldn't you decide where it goes and how much??
well if you vote you can exercise choice in that way
i mean of course you could say voting doesn't really matter
that's not a valid argument though
Except you only vote in an election.
you are confusing implementation with theory
why should you decide where that money goes
Because I paid for it.
That's why.
so
not nessecarily
why does that mean you should decide where it goes
because taxes aren't compartmentalized
which they are SUPPOSED to be
why should it be yours to unilaterally decided what happens with it
instead, we spend money promised boomers to fight forgein wars
what is the deeper reason
borrowing against funds already allocated to other areas
It's my money and if I'm going to pay for something I decide what that is.
this should be verboten
why is it yours
it's not 'your money'
Because I created/earned it.
you work in this country, under the protections of this gov at a COST
and why do the actions you are calling creating or earning it entitle you to it
