There is a big discussion about taxes. "Reducing taxes for the 1% when poor children starve is immoral" say some. "No, taxation is theft!" shout the others.
However, what is missing is a proper, meaningful discussion about the sources and nature of income that is taxed at first place.
A thief can steal your money and then pay tax on it. Would a discussion about the size of that tax be meaningful? Obviously not.
The agenda we currently have, which implies that all proceeds the rich enjoy are indeed the hard-earned money by wealth creators is simply a lie. A CEO of a bank does not receive a multi-million check, because he created wealth that was valued and recognised by the market. He capitalises on his background, connections and political influence while running an institution which at best facilitates the real wealth creation and often actually impedes that.
If you do not realise it, you will never be enlightened. You may utter 'liberty' every second, but you are delusional without understanding that the original distribution of wealth is rigged, based on coercion where the real wealth creators pass the value up of the chain through rent, interest and other forms of tribute.
If you call yourself a libertarian, tell me whether you genuinely believe that the pre-tax distribution of income is based on the free-market rules, where everyone gets what he earned whilst creating wealth.
