I'm A Proud Libertarian #TaxationIsTheft

I'm a conservative, and I can get on board with 3 out of 4 of your positions, and the 4th one doesn't even really matter.

I used to be a libertarian. Then I grew up. There is hope.

To be clear, I'm not against taxation all across the board. The government needs to get their money from somewhere? But is EVERY. SINGLE. FORM. of taxation really necessarry? No. Every square inch of our lives is taxed to some degree. The worst kinds, and the kinds I think ought to be done away with are the property tax and the income tax. The former logically entails that no one really truly "owns" their home. You don't own something that you have to keep continually paying for lest it be taken away from you. You don't own your home. I don't own my home. No one owns their home. We pay rent to the government. The government is our landlord. If we do not pay them, they will evict us and make us homeless. Don't you think that people have a right to truly own property? I do and that's why I am against property tax. Plus the fact that I was almost rendered homeless because I couldn't pay the property taxes a few years ago makes this hit closer to home. I had to raise money on a GoFundMe page.

Death tax is pretty bad too, but I read somewhere that that had been done away with. I don't know, I could be wrong. That's what I heard. If it has been done away with, then that's great! It should be obvious to anyone with a functioning moral compass that no one should be taxed because someone died.

It seems obvious to me that the government would still be getting a lot of dough if we ONLY did away with just these 3 forms of taxation.

And the NAZI party was still not funded though donations, but nice for you to assume a position that wasn't stated to argue against. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism

LOL. Quick resort to Godwin’s Law there.

Citizens of every country on earth pay taxes — or if they don’t, they’re breaking the law. It’s a basic part of living in society.

The heading to this meme states #TaxationIsTheft, so yes, the idea was stated.

Sorry for using your own NAZI example against your virtue singling I'm better than you response, but bonus points for the double standard. As you can see from the meme makers own response, you failed to accurately get his own stance on taxes right and thus are fighting shadows.

Also note that feudal systems have historically taxed the poor into an inch of their lives under threat of death so the elite could literally live like Kings. The morality of taxes depends greatly upon what they are used for and how much the system can bear.

Celebrating how we beat the Nazis =/= “Nazi example.” That’s not how Godwin’s Law works.

How does it work? By comparing your *opponent* to Hitler or the Nazis. Which is what you did.

LOL NAZI =/= NAZI. You should actual look up Godwin's Law and what it actually says rather than blowing smoke up my butt and lying by saying I compared you or "my opponent" to anything. You Godwined the thread and are whining to justify your moral preening.
