I know this is pointless, because you're one of those "taxation is slavery" idiots, but I'll respond nonetheless.
Insults are juvenile and history is replete with examples of taxation creating domestic slavery.
A familiar example is
taxation without representation.
Slavery is "a civil relationship whereby one person has absolute power over another and controls his life, liberty, and fortune" - any citizen of a
nation that can incarcerate its own without due process of law, and confiscate or freeze assets with the same lack of procedure, is granted the privilege of autonomy which can be revoked at any time. This is not freedom based on personal responsibility, and the argument that it's for the citizens' own "safety" suggests that all are
guilty until proven innocent.
Taxation is nothing more than a usage fee for services rendered. However, there is a threshold beyond which taxation is
forced, regardless of the quality provided or even which services are offered. There is sufficient infrastructure and technology available today to fully eliminate monolithic government and heavy-handed, illegitimate financial imposition.
However many are required to patch loopholes that prevent scamming of the intentions of the tax code. And yes, the intentions are very, very clear, as indicated by the closing of loopholes.
So instead of one point of failure, there will be multiple points of failure; fixing one problem creates others. Fighting entropy demands simplicity, not complexity.
Governments eventually become massive points of failure. They both
make laws and
enforce them. They collect wealth from the populations they govern. They direct the police and militia, lending further ability to enforce laws and collect taxes irrespective of any other factors.
Controlling a government means the entire nation is owned; in the case of Europe and the US, that ownership is primarily by the major banks.
No, a patch for a mess that existed because there was no patch.
A hole was dug in the ground
because there was no hole? What's the purpose of the hole (tax system)? When blindly following decrees without exercising reason and asking 'why', the activities are meaningless.
There is nothing "inevitable" about it, only that the majority of people (in my country at least) agree that there are aspects of life that get completely, utterly destroyed without law (yeah, taxes pay for judges and police). I'm done arguing this garbage with you. Feel free to skip out on your taxes, and then I hope you are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law by your local law enforcement.
I pay reasonable prices based on the quality of goods and services provided, no matter the field or industry involved. There is no need for authoritative taxation to facilitate business and commerce or even
contracts and law.
Besides, what government can prosecute on an international scale when there is disparity between national laws, and no basis for taxation from an individual? The only losers are the same politicians who effectively pay no taxes, yet reap the benefits of the systems they govern - supported by you.
What you consider tax fraud, others consider archaic subservience. Would you accept a doctor's prognosis if he reeked of alcohol and were slurring his words, or would you opt for a second opinion? Nations act like drunkards when they're flush with undue amounts of power and influence. I will take my business to
sober nations that respect business and the individual rather than
intoxicated brutes with penchants for violent outbursts on the warpath against freedom.
If you're unwilling to
discuss a topic, even if the end result is arriving at an agreement to disagree, your fate is sealed.
Oh for god's sake. Do any of you idiots read anything?
Emotions and
patience are among the most difficult things to master. The result of success is a clear sense of
reason.
