So you disagree with this?:

Taxes are no more a great thing than a band of thieves robbing a whole village and then using some of the loot to pay for a homeless family's dinner and shelter. It's still theft and it's still wrong.

Yes, because for one thing the village probably hasn't elected the "band of thieves" democratically and "robbing" is per definition violent, which collecting taxes usually is not. I get your point but the comparison is overly-dramatic.

Please refute one of the two correlations at the beginning of my last post.
