Taxes aren't unique to socialism. Never has been.
Yes they are, its the parasite class that demands forced redistribution of wealth.
In a productive economy, everyone would keep what they earn, and everyone would spend on what they want (voluntarly).
The only ones that support taxation are the parasites that are unproductive and want to steal money from the productive people, because they are the only beneficiaries of it.
Taxes at their most fundamental level are meant to afford the necessary papers, rents, and essentials for government to function properly. Taxes cannot be based on donations because laws will be biased towards the donors. Each individual must have an equal investment, equal stake in the government to have an equal voice. It is not possible to live in anarchy because you would need a government to ensure that government doesn't form-- which negates itself. It is hereby proven that we can't live with too much government and we can't live without it, therefore we must put into place a limited government that benefits the most people by being the most transparent in its prime reason for existing: To guarantee individual's right to life, liberty, and property.
