Involuntary takings are theft regardless of who is doing the taking.
Or how.
Taxation.
That is the obvious one. I was also considering inflation.
Yep. And to think that in 1900 both were insignificant for ordinary people.
I consider that it is only the explosive growth in science and technology, maintaining living standards, that such a deleterious economic system (inflationary fiat, FRB, debt-money, excessive taxation) has been workable. Thus far.
