If you'd like a serious conversation, we can have one.So how many people have to agree with you? A majority? So if a majority of people delegate to a cannibal the "right" to eat you and your family, that delegation is valid and just?
I think that taxes are the price we pay for civilization. That is simply a decision to which a vast majority of people in advanced countries have agreed. It is what it is. It will not change. So yes, the cannibals can eat my children. So then we move to the next issue.
The rate of taxes we pay will exist on a continuum, per the current climate of that society/country. If more people are convinced that higher taxes are worth the drag they create on a dynamic economy, then that's what's going to happen.
Now, instead of tossing around absurd questions, you're welcome to comment specifically on my response.
