And you don't think employers build that into salaries? I have discussed this with many employers over the years, and every single one of them - to a man and woman - has said if there was no income tax, then they'd adjust the salaries down...to a person...
I am sure they would but the point is the amount of money I am earning, the point is the percentage of my time and labor that belongs to me. If you are taking 30% of the product that is a result of my time and labor you are effectively taking my time and directing me to complete various activities at your leisure, using the threat of violence to keep me from breaking the mold. You know, if the slave didn't do the work and I wasn't able to benefit from his labor, I would punish him. Violently.
You are a member of society. You are able to accomplish more in a strong society than you can accomplish individually. You are expected to pay taxes to contribute to that society
YEah I'm aware how things work and I pay my taxes. It doesn't mean I can't be opposed to them.
