@noldarandur that is not what i'm talking about.... England is 1 state, France 1 state, U.S.A. is 1 state. Stop be fucking retarded.

You have the option to switch states.

@noldarandur we aren't talking about eliminating society, and no i don't have the "option" to opt out of the state, states are everywhere.

But you do have the choice and means to leave, which is one more option than many poor folks have. W/o society theft or riches do not exist.

@hijinxcavalry Taxation is theft good sir, I couldn't care less how they spend the money to persuade people in to supporting them and their thievery. You also propose what is called social contract theory. If by your logic it is unfair to be born into a rich family, because as you say "taxation is a tool for ensuring fairness", then why is it fair for someone to take money from me just because I was born on a certain land mass. and give me debt at the age of 18? I did not choose to be born here.

I don't understand how so many Christians can vote Republican. I have always voted democrat because they don't start wars or redistribute wealth to the super rich.

@altha2008 no Jesus wants God's children to be loyal and obediant to the Father. Treating everyone well and supporting those with the least was HOW he sought to achieve the aformentioned means
In the last 25 years the top 1% income has increased 174% the rest of us have been stagnate or droped. Greed has destroyed this country. You can defend this but the truth is you will never be one of the 1% unless you are part of the lucky sperm club. One more point 19% of Americans think they are in the 1% club.

Taxation is a tool for ensuring that we live in a free and fair society. If we do not have sufficient money to stop crime, protect our borders, and educate or children, we will not be able to preserve property rights.
Living in American society, you have by default consented to being taxed by our government. If you wish to avoid such considerations, you are free to leave.
The American government is a means for protecting our rights, it is not a criminal enterprise.
