Yeah, this is where I'm at...
There is no reasonable argument for taxation. People are either just greedy & malicious or stupid & afraid, & I suspect there's a lot of overlap between the two.
Believing some good or service is "needed" isn't a justification for the use of force. People NEED food & people NEED shoes, & voluntary transactions take care of those things quite well. Historically, when govts control food production people starve, and yet people wonder why there is so much injustice today when the govt controls the justice system 🤔 it's just not that hard to figure out.
