Income tax doesn't tax productivity. It taxes income. They aren't the same thing. Some of the most productive people I know don't get paid well. At the same time some of the laziest most worthless excuses for human beings get paid very well. A small point, but important. |

Did I ? where? I think all taxation is immoral however the income tax most accurately represents the ownership of a persons' productivity. This thread was focused on the income tax - sorry if I was not specific. |

Productivity is exchanged for income. i understand there are exceptions but this is generally the case. Edited by estonianman, Apr 16 2016, 09:31 PM.

It means one can not be a slave to that which you are hard wired to do. Humans create civilisation which function under governments funded by taxation. It's not slavery. It is the natural order of things. |

it is true that oppressing minorities is inherent human behavior - but that does't mean that it it morally right. |

The majority wins over the minority in a democratic societies. Sometimes it's oppression, most of the time it's called losing. Your ideas lose regularly. It's satisfyingly amusing how regularly they lose. |

The closest thing I experienced to slavery was being in the military...I felt secure there and never had an urge to run away...I was a good slave and was never subjected to the lash....I attribute being raised in the military to my hard wired aptitude for being a slave............

It think you have a very obvious authoritarian streak, yes. A trait very reliant to this topic by the way. |
