The trouble with calling taxation theft is that theft is a common legal term that invariably leads to the question of legality and the argument that taxation can’t be theft because it is legal. A better word to use is skimming.
Skimming is a more accurate description of how taxation works. In a skimming operation the skimmer takes an undeserved portion of a persons assets or income.
Examples of Government Skimming:
- Income Tax
- Social Security Taxes
- Tariffs
- Sales Tax
- Meals Tax
- Utility Taxes
- Tolls
- Filing Fees
- Licenses
- Parking Tickets
- Traffic Tickets
