If it’s paying for Nazis to curb stomp citizen’s rights granted by the Constitution, while depriving us of the services our tax dollars pay for, while cutting the taxes of folks who will never want for anything in life‽ Fucking absolutely against them. My tax dollars are not the Nazis slush fund for concentration camps.
When the federal government is illegally withholding funding for programs in blue states, justified based on Fox News fever dreams? Yes, taxation is literally theft. That’s the definition of theft - having money taken from you by force without receiving fair compensation in return. This is the federal government behaving less like an elected government responsible to the people and more like an occupying army. We’re seeing the federal government morph into a tribute empire, where red states militarily occupy and collect tribute from the blue states. The only difference between taxes and tribute is whether you get your share of the money back. When funds are being illegally held for political reasons? You’re damn right taxation is theft.
I applied for a federal job, was given an offer, and had that offer revoked because of Trump’s EO against trans people. This government is actively hostile to my existence and provides me little in return, so yes.
General strike on paying your taxes.
Is taxation theft to you?
