No, stealing implies wrongfulness. Whether every instance of coercively taking someone's wealth is morally wrong is the very point at issue. You've provided no argument for this proposition. Constantly saying "STEALING IS WRONG!!" like a hyperactive 5-year-old protofascist does not address the question of whether every instance of coercively taking someone's wealth is wrong, that is, is an instance of stealing. It does not therefore establish that taxation is stealing. This is the final time I'm going to attempt to explain this very simple logical point. If you lack the capacity to understand, then I must accept that you face certain cognitive challenges in your everyday life, and you have my pity. ![]() |
