Nobody agreed anything
there is no social contract
Although some taxes actually are helpful
It's more of a "don't pay you get taken away"
every citizen uses roads
every citizen uses police at least once
Like tax on cigarettes, which saves money overall by decreasing health problems
I mean
I mean it's not really helpful
Let’s say there’s a club
cigs have inelastic demand
you just make people lose more money
and hurt them more
In the club, there’s a sign that says “Club rules: Pay club dues to stay in the club”
Taxing cigarettes barely do anything, it should be up to consumer choice to do what they want.
And you join the club but don’t pay the dues
But those are two different things, it's voluntary
Yes
the government however is not voluntary
Participating in the economy is voluntary
I wasn't voluntary born.
you don't want to pay then leave
"Participating in the economy"
You could live in a cabin in the woods and not earn income
dude you act like the economy is a seperate entity
there is no "it"
I mean
We are the economy
You don't need to pay taxes to earn an income
Interactions between people are the economy
And it shouldn't be the case
Yes but no taxes are needed
Hold on grg
Sorry
