I'm very glad Ross is free but this whole attitude about taxation is just stupid. That's what got him in prison to begin with, of course it's normal for any provider to collect from transactions if they're in the position. I would, and so would you.

All of the money ever paid in tax is absolutely going right back to the same source in direct checks, cash and other benefits. 100% of public spending is financed through deficits. These are not libertarian points that are worth making, what's important is that people don't need to be in prison over paperwork and ideas.

There's at least three times public spending compared to any taxes collected. It is mathematically impossible to "pay taxes".

The article is absolutely wrong, taxes are definitely prices and it's fairly uniform and reliable as well. All prices adjust around every system just like water flows around gates and obstacles and tracks.

So taxation is not only not theft, it creates wealth?
