Maybe the problem is that the whole lleft vs right didactic conversation is supposed to make you want government to solve the problems. You mentioned that taxation is not theft?

To me taxation is a false right given to people by a portion of people in a geographical area to enforce this false right on everyone in that geographical area. A right is anything that does not cause harm. Taxation causes harm because if you don't pay it you will be coerced into paying it and eventually kidnapped and put into a cell box.

I'm sure you'll agree that the goal is to reduce conflict among individuals on earth, so how do you believe taxation, and its implied force does more good than harm when the very action causes harm itself?

Voluntary taxes and 100% agreed upon rules are ok but when people don't ask for it then it is an action against their autonomy.

I think the burden of proof is on the one who wants some people to take money away from everyone.
