It’s Time to Admit It—Taxation Is Theft

A lot of people think that calling taxation “theft” is a little too extreme. 

But what else do you call it when the government forcibly takes your money under threat of imprisonment and then squanders it in ways you can’t control, often in ways that don’t help you—or worse, actually harm you? 

For years, we’ve been told that taxes are just the “price we pay for a civilized society.” 

That’s a nice sentiment… except it is obviously false. 

I mean, look around. Does the government seem civilized to you? Is the system they’ve built a net positive for the average American? 

No, it isn’t. It’s a bloated machine that hoovers up your hard-earned dollars and wastes them on pointless projects, absurd bureaucracies, and endless wars.

A million here, a billion there, and before you know it, there’s trillions of dollars gone. And for what? We don’t even know the full extent of how much of our money has been wasted, misused, or outright funneled into things that actively harm us. 

I mean here are just a few: 

• $50 million to fund condoms in Gaza
• $1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia’s workplaces
• $70,000 for the production of a DEI musical in Ireland
• $47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia
• $32,000 for a transgender comic in Peru
• $37 million to the World Health Organization
• $16 million in funding for institutional contractors in gender development offices
• $4 million of funding for the Center for Climate-Positive Development

The worst part? 

You don’t get a say. It’s not like you can opt out of paying for things you don’t want, can’t use, or have moral objections to. The IRS doesn’t care if you approve of where your money goes. If you don’t pay up, you’re a criminal. 

Straight to jail.

That’s not a voluntary exchange. That’s extortion. 

Taxation is theft—just on a grander scale than most people can fathom. And if there’s anything we’ve learned recently, it’s that those in power have been so comfortable extorting us that they didn’t even try very hard to hide the nefarious things they were doing with our hard-earned money. 

They simply don’t view themselves as, in any way, accountable to us for what they do with our money. 

That should make you furious.

I’m officially calling for 2025 to be a tax-free year. We’ve earned it. 

I mean, what a great way for this new administration to show us that things have actually changed, and that they’re not like the other guys. 

A guy can dream right?

But, since that’s not likely to happen, the best we can do right now is educate our kids about economics, personal responsibility, and how to navigate a world where the government feels entitled to the fruits of their labor.

The best way for us to fight back against those who steal and call it virtue is to raise the next generation to totally reject the notion that taxation is legitimate. 

Victor Hugo said that no force on earth can stop an idea whose time has come.
If there was ever a time to expose taxation for what it really is, that time is now.
