Poor you.

Is working not voluntary either? Were you forced into a high-paying job by someone? It continually baffles me how people seem to think that they don't have a choice. You choose to work and choose to pay taxes on the money you earn, you just like to have a whine about it sat in front of your iMacs and iPhones whilst shaking your first angrily at all that tax you was (not) "forced" to pay on them.

You could vote with your taxes. Stop paying their wages, but of course people don't want to do this as they don't want the possible discomfort because you want your cushy little life and lots of money and nice things. I don't think you can have it both ways.

Take a step back and read this again.

You're saying it's fine to steal from someone just because they've decided to work and better their life. Is that a morally defensible position?

Again, what's the alternative? To live, you either earn an income, or you take from others. You seem to be advocating the latter.

Nope. You can work and not pay any income or council tax or move to a place that doesn't require these things if you're so offended and outraged by state "theft". And it's not stealing if you willingly give up something. You choose to do that. You can't have it both ways. Or you could, but I guess you're not willing to do that or find ways around it without making some sacrifices, so you just continue paying your masters wages whilst doing nothing but complaining about it on the internet.
