That is why I say that it is taxes that, for instance, disallow a woman to marry another woman. Marriage (through the State) is a tax-discount. People only want to get married for the tax discount. When the State doesn't let gay people marry, it doesn't let them get a tax discount. If there were no taxes, there would be no difference between married and unmarried, and this point would be moot. I understand this is a long-shot argument but I do honestly see it this way - to me marrying without the State is just moving in together and anyone, gay or not, can do that. What gays want is the tax discount that the State is unfairly allocating only to straight couples. Through taxation, therefore, the State can encourage and discourage behavior. So yes, it is taxes that are keeping gay people from getting a tax discount. I hope this is now clear.
Paying taxes for public schooling is not optional. I don't understand why you would say that when you know you're lying. Maybe you mean it's optional to go to a public school? That is irrelevant. It is not optional to pay taxes for public education.
Regarding name, your parent tell the State what your name is, and from this point on it is the State that tells you what your name is according to your parents. You don't get to pick it. You don't tell the State, your parents do. They do because they are forced to. They are forced to because the State wants to collect taxes from the parents' newborn. If the State did not want to collect taxes from people it would not force parents to name their children with the State.
Also a bigger points I should have made earlier: maybe you should look up what slavery is. Because it has nothing to do with controlling who you marry, confiscating children, not allowing to practice religion, requiring one to change one's name, keeping one ignorant and uneducated nor discriminating against place of birth.
Slavery: the state of being a slave. Slave: a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.
Are you forced to pay taxes? Yes.
Remember, I never argued taxes = slavery. I argue taxes = scam and if you dial taxes up to 100% that scam becomes slavery. So slavery is the end of the tax scam spectrum.
Not really. The 'monopoly on force' thing is a lot more important than taxes.
>People only want to get married for the tax discount.
Ha.
>Maybe you mean it's optional to go to a public school? That is irrelevant.
That's what I meant. You were talking about "deliberately keeping people ignorant and uneducated". That's about going, not paying.
>the State that tells you what your name is according to your parents.
All you have to do is fill out a form to change it. The state forces that there be a name, but no further.
Being forced to do anything at all does not logically imply slavery.
Slavery is far beyond having a 100% income tax.
Not taxes.
>CPS
Not taxes.
>documents
You have to tell them what your name is. This is not the same as them telling you what your name is.
>education
Taxes pay for that but it's optional.
>Renunciation of U.S. citizenship
If you're poor then you pretty much don't pay taxes anyway.
>Tell that to the Palestinians.
Sorry, let me clear my throat. TAXes, not TANks.
>Tell that to the Greeks
This is a complicated situation, but it's mostly repercussions of government spending without enough taxes to back it up. If anything it shows a way to screw up not taxing.
>Try again.
Yeah, you too. After you look up what taxes are.
