So if I come to your door and take money at gunpoint to build a park for your kids...that’s okay? That’s not theft?
What if the whole neighborhood agrees you should chip in for the park and they come with me, gun in hand, to take the money? Moral? Alright? Not theft?
What if I get everyone in the town, call it “government” and come to your door, and we all agree you should pay for the park (hey, you’ll be getting something in return) or be locked in a cage or killed if you resist? Moral? Of course not.
How is this any different qualitatively from what the state does when it collects taxes? Your argument isn’t logical.
Is it ok with you that I "broke in" your conversation. A little late to ask, I know. But I ask you so that I won't do it the next time, and shut up if you don't like it. And I apologize for doing it now.
Peace.
Of course man. I was replying to the OP. I agree with you.
