Taxation - Legalized Theft

Karen De Coster has a post up entitled “The Tax Protestor Movement" wherein she quotes from this Claire Wolfe post.

From Claire’s post, somewhat of a summation,

"I believe in tax resistance. I believe the income tax is both theft and slavery. I believe all taxation is morally wrong and the income tax is one of the worst of the lot. I believe the beast of tyranny won’t die until we starve it to death by withdrawing what it feeds on—tax money.

But I’ve mostly stayed away from the organized “tax protest” movement because 1) the arcane legal theories on which it relies completely miss the essentials of the matter, 2) the arcane legal theories on which it relies are mostly wrong, 3) the arcane legal theories on which it relies will get you in unnecessary trouble even if they’re absolutely, 100 percent correct, and 4) the movement is full of scam artists and it’s sometimes impossible to distinguish the sincere, correct crusader from the sleazeball."

From Karen’s post, also a summation,

"We were born slaves and until we can empower ourselves enough to fight back and crunch the State, that’s the way it is. But don’t ever call yourself a libertarian and acknowledge that the omnipotent central monster and its monopolies, theft, coersion, and hegemony are a necessity. That ain’t libertarianism. Those that utter such things are trying to become employed, stay employed, or, in the least, they don’t want to ostracize themselves from that which they see as the path to mainstream popularity. Selling out is all a part of that path."

  1. I’d love to see Karen interview “Sui Juris Freeman” (semi-frequent poster to Claire’s forum and a few others).
