Persuasion versus coercion

[@SJhikes]

Goods and services cannot be rights, without slavery that is..

[@RezaRob3]

So, does that mean that taxation is coercion? How do you draw the line?

[@Edward_Waterfield]

Of course it is.

[@RezaRob3]

@@Edward_Waterfield just out of curiosity, does that include the military? 😊

sounds like you missed the point entirely.

[@channingbaker-z4n]

Lol well then we will never be free cause you will always have taxes

[@livefreeordie3149]

Depends on what you are willing to fight for and what you are willing to sacrifice to achieve liberty. Taxation at the source is a creature of FDR and was only supposed to last the duration of the war. People will have whatever injustice forced upon them that they allow to be forced upon them.

[@swingset1969]

Yeah, that's the point. Taxes are theft.

What is your definition of rich?

@@livefreeordie3149 Who the hell carries around a specific definition for the word rich? I'm not Google. To answer your question, people with too much money. No wait, what's really rich is your stupid question.

Sounds like a lot of words to rationalize preserving the privilege of the wealthy and the perpetuation of unnecessary poverty and suffering.

Is English your first language?

[@j.kaymetcalf-benton6600]

Sounds to me like coercing me to give up what I have worked very hard for to give it to people who didn’t. Equal opportunity does not guarantee equal outcomes.
