Income tax is theft, consumption based tax is fair.

You need tax to have a proper government so as long as they make sense and are fair.

In the modern world, yes. In a just society, it's merely a bribe.

81% of federal revenue is through income and payroll taxes.
11% is through corporate tax.
Seems pretty fair.

Al Capone said, "Capitalism is the legitimate racket of the ruling class." Taxes then are the legitimate racket of the government. Life is one big shakedown.

If it is to perform a function that the private sector can not or will not, and it's important to the safety and/or infrastructure of the nation, no. Otherwise, yes.

Any tax not associated with a sale or service is theft IMO.
That includes, but not limited to:
Income
Estate
Land
Vehicle
Insurance
Etc

I agree with Vols-taxes should be consumption based, not income based.

It's fun watching someone first discover libertarianism.
The taxation as theft argument is tedious. The more interesting idea is the virtue of a more decentralized government.

No, because the taxpayer indirectly consents to the taking. The government officials who vote to impose the tax are elected by the taxpayers to represent them. If they vote in someone who is not willing to abolish all taxes, then they are consenting to be taxed.
