RE: Is Taxation Theft? - We Asked Canadians & The Results Are Terrifying!
in my opinion taxation is not theft at all.....these taxes are ones which are used in developing the country which stands as a pride among other nations :)
"Baaaaaaaaaaaaa"
So if I steal money from you, or force you to give me money, it's not theft if I use that money if I convince you that it's for developing the country you'd be ok with it, and it's not stealing anymore, because it belonged to developing the country to begin with, it was theirs, you just got in the middle of it.
If you convince him it's for developing the country, than no, it's not theft. It's an exchange of goods and services. It's when you refuse and they take it anyway that it could constitute theft, but then that's the cost of living in the country. You can't refuse to pay rent and expect to stay in your home.
Whether the land should actually be owned by the government is a fine debate, but the fact is they do. So paying them for use of that land and the services provided with it is not theft.
cool I have just said my opinion nice post :)
And I asked a very simple question, is it not stealing anymore if I tell you it's for developing the country if I take money from you?
