WW--Taxes Should Be Voluntary

~How can a government be justified in taking from a person money to do something that a private citizen would be arrested for taking money from him to do?
~Explain how taxation is not a violation of property rights.
~Explain how taxation is not a form of forced labor.
~Who owns my money anyhow?
~The consent of the governed is the key to a just government. So why don’t we entrust people with the power to consent to giving their money to that government? Are they so despicable and irrational that they won’t pay voluntarily?
~Churches seem to have enough funds to do what they do, and all their money is raised voluntarily or through commerce.
~Taxes get used for things that other organizations should be doing, such as churches.
~If we had a voluntary system, people wouldn’t complain about having too much taken from them.
~The free market works for everything else, why wouldn’t it work for government?
~It would certainly shrink the size of government, and how would that be a bad thing?
~Voluntary arrangements are greatly superior to coercion.
~What does it say about a population that they only pay money because they’re afraid of the government agents? How convinced are such people that they are getting a good deal for their money?
~Voluntary taxes mean less power for government to expand, waste, and pay for pork.
~Show me where the Bible talks favorably about tax collectors
~How can you fund a corrupt government?
~Who spends money more wisely: you or Washington?
~If government indeed provides a service worth purchasing, why does it have to force us to by the service?
~Taxation creates tax evasion and loopholes. Hence, the people really opposed to paying wind up avoiding it anyhow.
~The state knows that taxation is unjust, which is why they try to spread out the payments over time and hide the fact from you of just how much you are paying through withholding taxes enforced by your employer rather than by themselves. Then they also spread it out over a hundred different products and fees so that you really have no idea just how much you are paying at all. This is the behavior of a liar, a cheat, or a thief, not an honest merchant of a valuable service.
