Anti taxers are hypocrites and parasites

Anti taxers are hypocrites and parasites. Whenever someone says, “Just what part of my hard-earned money belongs to you”, and argues against taxes, they are conveniently forgetting that the services provided by government are there to keep society going and are the price we pay to live in a civilized society.

This is particularly repellent when an academic says this, and hypocritical too; unless they work at a private university that receives no government funding, their salary is payed for by the taxpayers, and according to them, if taxation is theft, they are receiving stolen goods.

Do they drive to work? They are using roads payed for by ‘stolen goods’. Do they use electricity in their homes? Again, they are using something paid for with ‘stolen goods’.

The list goes on and on. If they want to be morally consistent, they should not use anything payed for with tax dollars.

Who benefits most from anti-tax arguments? It’s the 1% who have lawyers busy finding every tax loop hole, the ones who set up think tanks and lobbying firms to cut their taxes and in the case of the ‘tea party’, create a political movement of working class dupes pushing for policies that benefit the super wealthy and actually make life for the working class worse.

This is obvious to anyone who’s been paying attention, but I felt that this needed to be laid out explicitly in a time when most folks are focusing on other things. Peace.
