On balance, Taxation is worse than rape

It is important clarification to state that rape is a very horrible action, Just that the current state of taxation is a far more horrible action. 1) All else being equal, It is better to be forced to do an activity that you derive pleasure from than an activity you do not derive pleasure from. Would you rather be forced to mow the lawn or eat chocolate cake? The later. The former is not a pleasurable activity while the later is pleasurable. While forcing someone to do an act is wrong, The best way to mitigate the act of forcing something on someone is to force them to do something they enjoy. Sex is universally enjoyed among humans as it leads to a lot of positive affects[1]. It has been shown to be anti-aging, Immune-boosting stress-reducing, Natural pain reliever, And good for your heart. So the act of giving someone sex is a very noble act indeed. Nobody enjoys paying taxes. In fact, Just the opposite, It creates tons of health problems related to stress[2]. 3/4 of Americans cited money as a form of stress and it causes martial problems. So if one were to be forced into an action, Why not be the one that creates the better health benefits. 2) The cost of taxation is far higher than the cost of sex US spends a total of 7. 65 trillion dollars per year on taxes[3]. With a population of 327 million, That comes down to $23, 380 per person. Now, If you were to ask someone if they'd pay over $23, 000 to sleep with someone, The answer would almost always be yes. I ask the audience if you'd sleep with someone for $23, 000. We can also calculate how much someone should be compensated for sex based on the cost of escorts. The average escort cost a maximum of $500[4]. So if we were to compensate someone for the harm done by sex, The cost of not paying taxes would be 46 times the charge of sex. I will ask my opponent how much wealth would have to be stolen from someone, In which the pain of losing their wealth is worse than the pain of rape, And whether that is higher or lower than current taxation rates. 3) Taxations are used for causes that net harm the world Taxation has negative externalities that harm third parties. The United States lets billions of people suffer from starvation and poverty through the use of force derived from taxation to stop the poorest people in the world from entering its land. A study has shown that a simple open border policy would double the world's GDP[5]. Not only that, But this GDP growth would improve the lives of the poorest people, Not the richest people, Since the poorest would be the one's who would. There is no reason for global poverty to exist when the United States has the capital and resources necessary to bring these people out of poverty. However, Because taxation is used. Since taxation are used for such morally repulsive and causing high mortality rates for those in other countries, It is morally unjustifiable and a horrible crime that money is force away from people to create more suffering in the world. While rape is a terrible action, It does not have these levels of negative externalities and only harms the people involved in the incident, It does not harm third-parties. Conclusion: Considering the large cost of taxations, The large negative impact taxation has on third parties, And the great harms that taxation has on the individual compared to that of rape, I have shown that current taxation levels is a far worse than rape.
