    I don't care who is coerced to pay, taxation is still theft and is immoral.

    Taxation is the price you pay for avoiding anarchy and chaos, through government.

    Slavery and servitude is the price you pay for a big bloated centralized government that controls every aspect of your life from cradle to grave.

    No thank you!

    Capitalism built the most wealthy countries in the world.

    Socialism has never built anything.

    Using history as a guide, anarchy and chaos is caused by government.

    Then you have no clue of the scope of chaos government has caused. War, infringement of rights, mass murder, rape, plunder, disease...you name it.

    Other than that, prove your assertion.

    Nobody forces you to be here. You are free to stop paying taxes and leave anytime you wish.

    With government there's indentured servitude, no liberty, no freedom, confiscatory taxation, corruption, endless regulations and red tape.

    I’m not a socialist, nor am I advocating for socialism. I’m pointing out the crackpot belief of “taxation is theft” is moronic but if you wish to stop paying taxes, nobody is stopping you from leaving. But, while you’re here, you’re going to be paying them. Choice is yours.

    Certainly some 3rd world dictatorships fall into this category. But to claim the US is like this, is just batshit crazy.

    No it isn’t. You voluntarily agree to pay them. Nobody is forcing you to remain on US soil, or a US citizen. You are free to stop paying taxes and leaving anytime you wish.

    I pay my taxes and appreciate the fact that they are what funds all the stuff that makes this country great.

    YOU don't like it?

    Go live in Somalia. I hear the tax rates are really low there

    If only human nature wouldn't make a anarchic system corrupt, violent and regressive almost instantaneously. Same flaw that communism had, sounds reasonable in principle, but in practice it sucks bigly.

    I don't voluntarily agree to pay income taxes, social security taxes, and medicare taxes.

    I don't voluntarily agree to pay property taxes, gas taxes, and sales taxes.
