True News - Cyprus Bank Thefts!

The Cyprian government has decided to take a more obvious form of theft by taking directly from people’s bank accounts, rather than inflating the currency, which was the pre-EU strategy.

Taxation is theft, so why blame the victim? Why, in effect, tell the victim of assault-by-taxation “if you don’t like it you can leave”? That position simply affirms that opposition to the violence of taxation will beget more violence. Why not say the same things to victims of physical and sexual assault? — Chris Leithner, personal correspondence 2009 (via conza)

Opinion polls on taxes are the shabbiest of the lot. People are asked questions like: would you rather have Congress cut taxes or provide more essential government services? The results are invariably ambiguous. Reporters then claim that a surprising number of people are pleased with the amount of taxes they pay. Conclusion: there is no tax revolt.

Nonsense. If we really want to take an opinion poll on taxes, the easiest way would be make them non-mandatory for one year. Give everyone the choice of paying them or not paying, with no penalties or rewards either way. What would happen? Washington would quickly have to close up shop.

GOVERNMENT: An institution of war, theft, murder, rape[,] and predation, … the absence of which, it is said, would lead to disorder. — Butler Shaffer (via laliberty)

It is said, mostly by Libertarians, that ‘taxation is theft.‘ Theft is too mild a word. Typically, a thief strikes only once, and doesn‘t pretend that his robbery is legitimate. Taxation is actually slavery. — Rick Tompkins (via anarchei)

Watch money. Money is the barometer of society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion — when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favours — when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you — when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice — you may know that your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that it does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot. — Ayn Rand (via anarchei)

Take the institution of taxation, which statists have claimed is in some sense really “voluntary.” Anyone who truly believes in the “voluntary” nature of taxation is invited to refuse to pay taxes and to see what then happens to him. If we analyse taxation, we find that, among all persons and institutions in society, only the government acquires its revenues through coercive violence. Yet the mystical trappings of “sovereignty” have so veiled the process that only libertarians are prepared to call taxation what it is: Legalised and organised theft on a grand scale. — Murray Rothbard (via anarchei)

raverjesus:

Anyone who says NASA is a waste of money is an idiot.

This is a classic example of what Frederic Bastiat expounded upon in his essay:

 “That Which Is Seen, and That Which Is Unseen”

Sure, NASA has created some great technologies (“that which is seen”).

However, since they are funded via force/coercion (denying individuals the freedom to choose how to employ the fruits of their labor) we never get to see the absolutely amazing and possibly revolutionary technologies that would have arisen out of NASA-like businesses funded through consensual voluntary exchange (“that which is unseen”).

Overall, businesses operating in a market free from force/coercion are always much more prosperous and efficient, as they must satisfy the customer in order to get paid. Businesses funded via force/coercion have no market incentive to operate efficiently or to satisfy the individuals who fund said business, as said businesses gets paid either way (i.e. “taxation” aka theft).

To claim:

“Anyone who says NASA is a waste of money is an idiot.”

…is like having John Doe break your leg, hand you some crutches, then call you an idiot for not thanking him for the crutches.

I prefer consensual relationships.

Try Voluntaryism instead.
