the plan’s progressive taxation is STATE SANCTIONED ROBBERY – disproportionate taxation is AN ATTACK ON FREEDOM!

Over the years, I have concluded that some people simply refuse to fully comprehend the reality of governmental taxation and spending. These individuals don’t seem to realize that the government is spending our money. This may sound silly because on its face, these concepts are exceptionally basic. With that said, the advocacy of fiscal policies espoused by some of these individuals are illogical. One such policy is the progressive tax. The obvious immorality of the progressive tax system (which is an increase in the tax rate as taxable income increases) should be the enemy of anyone in search of legitimate freedom. Progressive taxes essentially seek to redistribute the wealth from one group of people to another. Politicians advocating for increased taxes on higher earners are saying, “Vote for me, and I will use the levers of power to take their money and give it to you!” Over time, the government has grown exponentially larger and continues to infringe upon our fundamental liberties. As a society, we have allowed this enlarged government to legalize theft right before our eyes. When Congress confiscates the dollar of one person to reallocate it to another, nobody raises an eyebrow. If a private citizen carried out this action, we would deem them guilty of theft. Earnings are personal property, just like a house or car. You are in no way entitled to the money of others, and any argument in defense of such a claim is an overt fallacy. An attack on the personal property of others is an attack on freedom. Freedom can hardly be exercised when property is being disproportionately confiscated based on income levels.
