Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: Yes they are theft

Sharing the wealth, alright this whole "redistributing the wealth" thing is theft. People will vote people who want keep wellfare and food stamps on a massive level, then when they are elected, taxpayers are sent the pay check and if you don't pay your property will be taken. Forcing people to share their wealth is not charity, its stealing.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: No they are not theft

People are sharing their wealth with you in turn. You conveniently forget the part where you too are receiving more than you yourself can pay for.And spending in neither wellfare nor food stamps has increased at all per population of late.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: Yes they are theft

It's completely irrelevant what a thief does with the money- donates it to charity, feeds starving children, buys his ailing mother a present- it does not matter. All taxation is theft or else it would be voluntary. That is the issue we are debating: Is (high) taxation theft?No matter what your opinions are on what people should spend their money on, even if you think it would make society better, when you advocate taxation you lose your right to talk about what people should do. You're advocating violence, and once you do that it's no longer a debate. Taxation is taking someone's money without their consent. The argument for the "social contract" is absurd. I did not choose to be born, or where, and neither did you. I suppose a debate on taxation wouldn't be complete however, without someone inevitably saying "Well, if you don't like it you can leave!"

It's completely irrelevant what a thief does with the money- donates it to charity, feeds starving children, buys his ailing mother a present- it does not matter. All taxation is theft or else it would be voluntary. That is the issue we are debating: Is (high) taxation theft?You are volunteering to pay taxes. If you don't work, don't buy stuff, then you can avoid taxes. To avoid hypocricy though, don't use the roads, schools, etc that tax payers have built for you.No matter what your opinions are on what people should spend their money on, even if you think it would make society better, when you advocate taxation you lose your right to talk about what people should do. You're advocating violence, and once you do that it's no longer a debate. Taxation is taking someone's money without their consent.Again, you consent when you work here and enjoy the benefits of the U.S. And you have all the choice of how the money is spent of any free society, more choice actually than many countries, because you live in a representative republic.The argument for the "social contract" is absurd. I did not choose to be born, or where, and neither did you. No, it's an accurate description, it just deflates the childish libertarian whining session so you guys don't like it.I suppose a debate on taxation wouldn't be complete however, without someone inevitably saying "Well, if you don't like it you can leave!">< It also wouldn't be complete without selfish cry babies moaning right wing talking points that would set society back 100 years, whilst claiming not to be political and downvoting any who try to talk sense to them.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: Yes they are theft

I don't live in the U.S., I live in Canada.Your arguments have some serious flaws in them. Basically, you're saying that taxation is "voluntary" because you could choose not to work or buy anything and just live off of welfare (which is paid for by taxes)? Do you think that's a good argument? Somebody has to pay for welfare, and if you stop working, you're leaving someone else with the bill. Under no circumstances do I have to give up my ambition or move to another country to say that taxes are theft! I didn't choose to be born here and never agreed to the laws. Taxation is theft, no matter what I do personally. Why don't you just be honest? You think stealing people's money is fine as long as it's used for things you want. Your insults and faulty logic only prove that you don't need to use reason. As long as you have the gun, people have to listen to you. I wouldn't advocate forcing you to pay for something I wanted, so why do you feel you have that right?
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: No they are not theft

No, you wouldn't have to live off welfare. You could scavenge of course. But it is voluntary, working that is. The idea that somehow magically societies would function, you'd have roads, police, that those with the most wouldn't just walk over and take advantage of those without, etc. etc. if there were not some community effort and shared wealth is childish.So, some things that taxes go toward you don't like. Okay. Some other things you do like others don't like. That's the point. The constant crying and bemoaning from libertarians and acting like you're the victim of some crime or conspiracy would be comical if there weren't so many of you dumb dumbs. Did they stop teaching kids civics at some point?
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: Yes they are theft

No, its not some taxes go to things I like and some go to things I don't like, its a few taxes go to stuff that is needed and most go to stuff that isn't. Libertarians aren't whining and moaning, there complaining about the direction that there country is going, standing up for the constitution and saying that they don't want to be part of society where unity and charity is forced. The option to work is optional, yes, however, it shouldn't be wellfare or work it should do something else or work. And for you information, being threatened by armed government agents when we don't want to support a cause that was forced on us is not "acting like we are victim to some crime" it is a crime.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: No they are not theft

Ugh. What the average libertarian knows about the constitution or the founding of this country could fill a Dr. Seuss book. They are moaning and whining. That's all they do is moan and whine. And if there ever were a libertarian party taken seriously 90% would jump ship. Most Libertarians are the ones who love the local band while they are starving to death playing in garages, then say they sold out the second they sell a record.That's the Libertarian base. It's cool to be different is the base.You obviously actually understand and buy into the idea. It is no more or less an "American" idea than what either of the main stream parties propose though. Taxes are constitutional. Actually eliminating them would be unconstitutional.It is not "their" America, or "your" America. It is for everyone who lives here. That you don't agree with every single thing does not give you the right to live outside of the society that's allowed you the opportunity to disagree with these things. No one agrees with everything. The difference is when a Libertarian or a right wing nut doesn't agree they pout, take their ball, and go home while the rest of us compromise and accept there are going to be some things we don't like.And for you information, being threatened by armed government agents when we don't want to support a cause that was forced on us is not "acting like we are victim to some crime" it is a crime.It is a crime not to pay taxes. So you are actually the perpetrator of a crime when you do not pay taxes. You're acting like the victim, when actually you've victimized your fellow Americans who do pay taxes.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: Yes they are theft

You seem to have libertarians mixed up with hipsters. Now as for them "moaning and whining" they are angry about being forced into a collectivist and socialist society. I am not saying taxes are unconstitutional, I am saying it is wrong to have excessive taxes. 2nd, I suggest you throw out the Liberal 101 book and realize that not every conservative or libertarian is a "right wing nut." Its not that there are going to be "some things we don't like" its that we are being forced to pay for your stuff and anytime anyone speaks out they are labeled a radical. I am not victimizing anyone, the jackoffs that are constantly bitching about how we need more wellfare, foodstamps and healthcare and then sending me the check are victimizing us.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: No they are not theft

1. I'm likely paying higher taxes than you. I pay higher taxes than most people. I also have my own business and while I don't employ people, I do pay other people through contracts. I probably give more to society in taxes than you do. So, instead you throw out the Conservative 101 "I'm better than you book." 2. You have no idea what a socialist society is obviously, if you call this one. This is a representative republic with a capitalist monetary system and some social programs. Fewer social programs than most first world countries.3. No one has sent you a check for their wellfare douchebag. Get over yourself. You sound like a greedy old asshole. If you make enough to actually be paying more into society than you are getting out of it, you should be happy and comfortable and willing to help the next person who comes along. If you are not in that situation, then you are getting more out of society than you are paying into it and should quit pretending otherwise.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: Yes they are theft

1. Never said I was better than you, and for someone calling everyone who disagrees with you a "right wing nut" I'd say you might wana throw out the book "I'm better than you" book.2. I am not saying this country is socialist, however that is the direction that we are headed in, as for it being a republic that has nothing to do with socialism, socialism has to do with the economy not the government.3. Oh really? Someone is taking a social program and not paying for it, if I'm paying taxes and my taxes go to it I am very much getting the paycheck. Get over your opinion.You sound like a thick skulled liberal who is shocked and offended to find that there are other opinions out there besides your own, if you wana give your opinion thats fine but try not to do so with your head up your ass.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: No they are not theft

1. You claim through your own hard work you are paying for other's, mine specifically in this case laziness or lack of ability or something. That was the implication of your wording, and is the implication of the mentality that anyone who does not have as much as you does not because they deserve to have less. It is an "I'm better" mentality. You are not better, nor are those with more in general better. Money is not the determining factor in either self-worth or in ability for that matter anymore. One person can work hard and make it, another just as hard and not make it. Sometimes one with less ability makes more money. 2. The gap between rich and poor is the greatest it has been in over a hundred years. Pray tell where is the shared wealth this socialism has ushered in? Spending per capita on social programs has not increased.3. Everyone pays taxes. Sales tax. "Wellfare" is a sliver of the economic pie chart. Sure, you can think of the taxes as going to feed some kid somewhere with food stamps because it's put in a pot and split up. But what about what you get out of it? The fact is, 99.999% of the country does not pay enough in taxes to even pay for the road they drive to and from work on. So it's okay when you get something out of it. If someone else does it's socialism, their stealing, their lazy, etc, etc, etc. We all live off the work of generations before us in terms of infrastructure and more. We all, all put money into the pot. So some have less and can put less in. Some need help. But we help one another with the knowledge that they will have kids, and their kids will have kids, who all deserve an opportunity to put something in the pot. This is the right thing to do, and it makes a country stronger when we do it. You could just as easily be in a situation where you need unemployment, or food stamps, or something else. So you're no. Great, good for you. But it does not mean you inherently could not be.This is how a society goes forward. It's not socialism. You're free to start any business in the world you want and you can get as rich as the day is long with work, knowledge, and luck. You can live in a mansion the size of Rhode Island conceivably and no one is stopping you from at least trying. But understand that the society, this one, that has allowed you the opportunity to do that, deserves something in return. Other people after you deserve the chance to try to do what you did. Cutting social programs and re-writing tax code to benefit those with the most even more than it already does, give fewer and fewer people opportunity. It gives you less opportunity ultimately unless I'm talking to a billionaire.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: Yes they are theft

1. Your kind of twisting my words their, I do not believe I am somehow superior to people with less money, but regardless of how little or how much they have my money is my money and their money is theirs. As for the lack of ability and laziness its doesn't always apply, but its still there. Them making the government come to me (at gun point I might add) and asking me to chip in my "fare share" is wrong, me thinking it is wrong doesn't mean I think I'm better than them.2. With socialism I'll say it again AMERICA IS NOT SOCIALIST, but that is the direction we are headed in. 3. Yes I guess technically "everyone pays taxes" but if your living on wellfare and that money is coming from someone else your not really paying taxes are you, some of the money they gave you is just being taken back. 1/7 Americans are currently living on a form of wellfare or food stamps, don't you think that says something? As for the roads, they are needed, mass social programs are not. You keep trying to make this argument that I only want stuff for myself and if someone else gets something that I think its socialism, however let me remind you, socialism is not about the government building roads.I am not against unemployment, I think what it is right now is wrong but I am not against it, as for food stamps people (like yourself) tend to think "oh, food stamps, it must be for food only, why would anyone want to get rid of this?" well its not. Food stamps were actually... well food stamps back when FDR was around, however it is now a form of wellfare where the user is just given money. As for the argument that this society somehow allowed me to do well is bullshit, America did great because it had a free market, small government, few regulations and low taxes, NOT because of social programs. Most social programs do not give people an opportunity to do well, it just supports them (and hurts whoever they are taking the money from.) We are not socialist at the moment, but people like you are pushing for higher taxes, more social programs, bigger government and everything that comes with those things, which is socialism.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: Yes they are theft

Libertarians view aren't going to push us back 100 years, whats happening is that we are arguing for Capitalist Equality and you are arguing for Socialist Equality. If Libertarians win, you won't get your benefits but you still be free to do what you want. If Liberals win, we will be forced into your system. We really don't care what you guys think or say, we just don't want to be a part of it, but unfortunatly for us, if the government adopts your ways we will be forced to.

Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: Yes they are theft

No one is against taxes for roads, were against overly high taxes for wars, wellfare and a national debt that the government, NOT THE TAX PAYERS, caused.Speaking of leaving, why don't you leave America and go to Europe, you can go be socialist there.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: No they are not theft

I'm not the one complaining about what has made America great, our teamwork and innovation. Social programs do not equate to socialism.I'll tell you what, I'll move to one of the Scandinavian countries who score better in health, wealth, and happiness across the board thanks to better investment in education and healthcare laws that ensure actual healthcare.And you can move to one of the third world countries where everyone is out for themselves and no one invests in their people.
Debate: Are high taxes theft?
Side: Yes they are theft

America was made great by its innovation, however, social programs and high taxes didn't make us great. I believe we need to fix our education system if you wana get on the topic of education, but the approach of throwing more money at it will not work. As for healthcare, everyone would have health care if they could afford it, forcing people to pay for others health care and at the same time giving the government control over the medical field is a not great. As for moving to a third world country, your having me mixed up with someone who wants poverty everywhere and money in the hands of a few, that is not what I want. I want lower taxes, less government involvement and more liberty.
