Nowhere produces more economic illiterates than universities. You go in with common sense & a basic understanding of how the world works, you come out with a sheet of paper, bad math skills, even worse economic knowledge, less common sense, & most important of all, arrogance.

we owe the past for every good decision they made. what we owe them is making our own good decisions for the future.
私が盗むと、犯罪者だ。 政府が盗むと、それは税金だ。 私がお金を印刷すると、それは偽造だ。 彼らがやると、それは「金融政策」だ。 私がガーナを侵略して無垢な人々を殺すと、軍閥だ。 彼らがやると、それは外交政策だ。 教えてくれ、州がやるときに何がEXACTLY悪を合法にするのか？
I steal, I'm a criminal. Govt steals, it’s taxation I print money, it's counterfeiting They do it, it’s 'monetary policy I invade Ghana & slaughter innocents, I'm a warlord They do it, it's foreign policy Tell me, what EXACTLY makes evil legal when the state does it?
If I patch a road, I'm damaging public property. If they neglect a road for decades they're maintaining public property. So many cases.
Valid question.

why are taxes necessary? One can have a lawful society without taking money from one person and giving it to another.
Few things are more uncivilized than using the threat of violence to seize another's property, yet that's precisely how taxation works. Strangely, people argue this UNCIVILIZED coercion is the very foundation of a CIVILIZED society.
Apparently, I was born owing a debt to people I've never met, for services I never asked for, by rules I never agreed to. This isn't civilized

Some people are herd animals. Running from wolfs but happily boarding the truck to the slaughter house.
It's literally just vocabulary, the language normalizes everything. Let's start calling things for what they really are. Taxation is THEFT!
Steal from one, and you’re a criminal. Steal from millions, and you’re "good government".
When the true criminal syndicates take power and normalize things, it's then called Government.
The Soviets abolished weekends. Instead they created a rolling 5 day week so that factories were always open. Workers would get time off on different days so they couldn't be sure their day off would overlap with that of their spouse or friends. eyeondesign.aiga.org/a-failed-sovie…
You don’t hate Mondays.. you hate being exploited by capitalism
The real answer is that it can't be theft because that would mean his worldview is wrong and he has to re-examine a lot of things. It's easier to ride the inertia of consensus and use democracy as a stand-in for real consent.
