Taxation is theft. "But who will build the roads" argument is really old and dumb, people are not some stupid monkeys who can't figure out things if no one guides them, there's nothing that can not be done privately and through voluntary cooperation (which is the same as privately). Roads, military, science and so on - all of it can and is done privately around the world. Government is exactly why Bitcoin was invented - you can't trust people with power and believe that they will do as they've promised, and even well-meaning leaders do stupid mistakes that cost billions. Just like Bitcoin have decentralized economy, some day people will decentralize power to the point when every individual will be independent from others.

Organization of the people! That's not as hard as we think it is. When there's a huge need for something, people get together and help each other. Taxation is theft, and is more so in some countries than others. When multiple ministers of a particular country in the middle east got caught with shoe boxes full of money buried under their lawns, the peasants said "They work hard, they deserve it". Ignorance.

In my own country, the tax is defined as a tax that is a particular measure by which the state uses its power to communicate the private sector to the public sector for its socio-economic functions. governments. From a taxpayer perspective, taxes are defined as the number of compulsory contributions that every organization or individual has to pay to the state in accordance with the law in order to meet the need for expenditures for the performance of functions and duties. of the state, taxpayers can legally enjoy the remaining income.

This is called the progressive taxation and you are taxed according to the rise in your income. Besides, this is something that the state has to rely on if the economy is not in a very good shape.

It actually shrinks the gap between rich and poor of a country and has been a good portion of the GDP of almost all the countries except Dubai where it accounts to only one percent of the total GDP. In countries like Norway, taxation contributes up to 30% to the GDP. This is the reason why the living standards have been so high in countries like these.

Dubai's an example of how rich will always rule from their almighty position because they have such high standards to enter their level of living. They continue to separate themselves by widening the gap so they will always be untouchable up there.
