Taxation is fundamentally theft because ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—น๐˜† ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ'๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ฟ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜.

This is a clear infringement on the individual's right to keep and control their own wealth.

Taxation is a coercive mechanism for extracting wealth from individuals. It violates the principle of individual property rights, and breaches personal freedoms. ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐˜…๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐—น๐˜‚๐—ป๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜† ๐—ด๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป, ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฏ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ด๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜, ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ/๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฝ๐—ต๐˜†๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—บ. This is, by definition, a direct theft of someone's property.

Taxes are often used to fund bloated government programs and other forms of wasteful spending. This misallocation of resources could be better utilized in the hands of individuals and businesses.
