Taxes are absolutely needed to maintain a capitalistic society with all its benefits. It depends on the nations corruption and moral stability on how these taxes are spread tho. Dont get me wrong, I think that cabals run most of the western world, same with russian cabals running russia or chinese cabals running china. The thing is, taxes are the easiest way to embezzle these funds. So its factually correct to always regulate the tax handlers on what they do. Still, taxes are the reason why a country looks how it looks. This gets more complicated going into poorer parts of the world where the economy is already struggling, hence the corruption rate from politicians being a serious concern that hinders growth in such areas.
Im in no way justifying taxation theft because we all know how delicious it is to receive quick and easy money for private enrichment but saying ALL taxes are theft is outright wrong. Every single pillar of modern societies need taxes to maintain stable and longterm development.
What really is theft is the ridiculous power that we give to certain single people just because they had great ideas. They rule over us with time and give us money crumbs while they profit out most of the companies winnings. I resist to understand how company runners are cashing in everything and spread little percentages to everyone who are literally making it possible in the first place for this company to run correctly. I think this is one of the main issues because such people can just bribe away every politician who is weak, resulting in unfair and often incorrect usage of taxation.
If anything, we should tax those people even more but as we saw many times before, they just use their trick books via off shoring all this shit.
My point is, taxes are needed and good but need to be under way more investigation and regulations without any way to flee out of it. For you, me and more importantly for the billionaires.
