My point is, tax, the idea of it, is a good thing.

Tax is taking money by force. Even if tax money were only used to help people, rather than blow them up, it would still not be a "good thing." Charity is a good thing. Forced charity is not.

We wouldnt need to force it if greedy people like yourself werent getting so irate at losing a few pennies. Your rich, way richer than you think, there are near 7 billion people in the world, I bet your in the top 10%, why you getting so mad at people with less money than you taking some in the form of benefits?

Oh, that's rich. "We wouldn't need to steal if you would stop complaining about our stealing from you." Roll Eyes

No no, its, 'We wouldn't need to steal if you weren't so greedy'. Wink

Seriously tho, please explain why your so against taxation even IF the tax's are being used for 'good' I.E not in the pockets of bankers or illegal wars and a myriad of other dumb ideas.

Whats wrong with sharing the wealth?

That it's being done by force. If I hold a gun to your head, and take your money to pay for my grandmother's surgery, does that make the robbery OK?

Charming way too put it, if it were to be like how you say, no, it would not make it ok.

However, it is not like that, so not a problem. Is it stealing? Sure, if you want to argue semantics you can conclude it is indeed stealing.

So what? Since when is stealing such a big deal?(If you quote me the 10 holy commandments il cry) You want to steal from me to benefit society, sure. You want to steal from me for an 8 ball of coke, fuck you.

If it is used correctly, in a way so that it can combat societies problems, sure, sign me up.

Now of course its not like this, so yeah, I fucking hate paying taxes to fund bullshit, but that does not make tax, or in my ideal, what tax should be about, wrong. We just need to get it working properly.
