Taxes are theft and I would not want to compare them to Hive. You got me thinking though. Although in Hive we are not coerced and participation is voluntary, it is also true that proposals are passed without our vote and it is supposed to be everyone's money. Could it be likened to taxes? Is part of my participation being taken away from me without my permission? I am just thinking about this now and I think it could be a deep topic to reflect on the type of governance and how free it is. However the best thing is that we don't have a centralized state deciding.

Yeah, analogy wasn't perfect, sorry for that. But yes, the big difference is that we voluntarlly joined Hive. Those are not even our money per se, but it's like air and water. It's not ours per se, it's a common good, but we should better be sure to care about those resources.
