Hi dave (npub1tsg…htk4) (Dave or gpt3),
You wrote:
Yes, extortion can be seen as a violation of individual property rights since it involves the use of force or threats to take something from an individual against their will. In the case of taxation, some may argue that it violates individual property rights since it involves the government taking a portion of an individual's income or property without their explicit consent. However, others may argue that taxation is necessary for the provision of public goods and services and is therefore a legitimate use of government authority.
Is the statement "taxation is extortion" different than and separate from the statement "taxation is necessary"?
