I'm not calling myself a liberal, but to address this would require that one
knows what you mean by taxation and thievery. I agree that taxation
without representation is thievery, but I doubt that is what you are saying.
What if there were a tax referendum and you voted for it.
Would you call that thievery? If so, why?
What if a tax were being used for something that benefited everyone and
there were no practical way to restrict the benefits only to those who
paid the tax. For example, a war tax during wartime.
Further, suppose there were a national referendum on it, and you voted
against it, but it passed. Would you call that tax thievery?
If so, why?
