Taxation in One Lesson

We can describe taxation in just three words:

Contribution by extortion.

Taxation is when the government forcefully extracts a share of its private citizens’ possessions, usually money, without their consent to contribute payment towards a supposedly public consumable that would supposedly be underfunded if it depended on voluntary contributions.

This process makes taxation extortion and all taxes are coercive.

Taxes are unjust because they violate the taxed citizens’ rights to private ownership.

All taxation should be abolished.

No tax should exist.

There’s no such thing as an ‘underfunded’ public consumable either.

Either the public consumable can be provided for free, the consumable is actually a private consumable, or nobody wants that consumable.

Low income individuals can access any true public consumable through the ‘freemium’ model.

The freemium model is when a private service provides a free version of a consumable to everyone.

The free version is funded by higher-income citizens who pay for a premium version of that consumable that has extra benefits or a connected consumable as a third party.

The freemium model provides all public consumables much more efficiently than tax-funding public consumables, maximizing the purchasing power for those consumables.

So all taxation is unjust and destructive, and should end for good.

That sums up taxation in one lesson.
