Great, you're demonstrably wrong too.

Let's look at it logically:

If you point a gun at me, and steal my money, you'd agree that's theft right?
Now, take that gun, hand it to someone else. Let's call that person "The Government". Now, tell them to point the gun at me, steal my money, and then give that money to you.

How is the 2nd option not theft, but the 1st one is? Using a proxy to steal is still theft.

Now that we've established taxation is theft, any services provided through the use of that taxation are the byproduct of that theft. If you feel justified in receiving stolen property, and can somehow do the mental gymnastics to make yourself believe that what you received was "free", then quite frankly you are lost.

Here's why it's not theft

Because you have the option to leave if you don't like it. If you are tired of having to pay for government services, get the fuk out. I am willing pay my share, either stop bi*tching or get out.

It's not theft if you have a choice *******

If you had the mental capacity to check my location you would see it tells you I live in the UK.

Again it isn't free and the NHS is overburdened, underfunded and on the verge of complete collapse.

Our healthcare is a joke, that doesn't mean America's healthcare isn't but it unfortunately does mean that ours is.

What choice? Go to another country and pay into their tax system instead? You can't get off the farm, sheep. It's a world-wide farm and you can't leave. Just because you claim you're "willing to pay your fair share" (whatever the fuk "fair" means, pretty subjective), doesn't mean you aren't being stolen from.

Men with guns are taking your money. Most people with any sense would refer to that as theft.

Go to greece, they dont pay taxes there


This is why Americans are retarded and behind on EVERY SINGLE THING that matters. Europeans are willing to pay in to the system and the governments provide great services. We definitely have excess government waste but the general idea that you need to pay for good services is accepted every where else in the world except dumba$$ USA

Why don't you move to Europe if it's so great? You can enjoy contending with the 1 million + illegal migrants who are all draining the welfare system dry. BTW, they don't provide "great" service, they provide "mediocre" service at massively inflated prices because everything Government does is a monument to inefficiency.

Also just lol @ Greece not paying taxes? uwot? Greece has massive entitlements and their economy is basically fuked as a result. They're facing austerity or complete collapse.

Google it, greeks avoid paying taxes easily with the little consequence and it fuked them in the end.

I dont move because I like the US and am totally fine paying the taxes we have.

Great service is relative. Most places in europe are better than the non existent healthcare system, crumbling infrastructure, s*itty inefficient public services etc of the USA.

I lived in the United Kaliphate (was the United kingdom at the time)for a few years and got to see your "great" and "free" healthcare system firsthand, it's fuking terrible and wait times for simple care it's beyond ridiculous.

I'd rather just get a decent REAL job that pays me enough and has a great health plan so I can see specialists, regular pcm, or anything else in a timely manner and know they aren't some subpar fool hustled through a medical education to be thrown in a subpar treatment facility to meet quotas.

Lmao at the uk.

Considering the tax rates in UK/Canada vs America it technically is free for us.


America simply spends its money on other things (military, bailing out banks and business) etc

They got fuked because they built up massive entitlements (hello welfare and big government spending) and ran out of "other people's money" to pay the debt. That's what Socialism is, and what Socialism does.

Well like I said I dont believe in government waste, but LOL if you think services like healthcare is wasteful.

and btw, only a small portion of current US budget even goes to welfare and entitlements so you're falling for one of the biggets myths out there. The real behemoth is the military budget, which I'm fine with.

It's wasteful BECAUSE it's run by the Government. FYI, over half a trillion dollars is spent each year in the US on Welfare. Yes, that's a small portion of the "budget" (we don't even have a budget so more like a small % of overall "spending") but it's still a huge sum of money, and it grows yearly.
