Are you dyslexic? You said "form the system".Scott wrote: ↑May 24th, 2021, 5:30 pmScott wrote: That logic is utterly fallacious.
If it was valid, then the following would be valid:
The armed bank robbers only take money from people who have money.
Taking money from the system is voluntary.
Therefore, being robbed by armed bank robbers is voluntary.That's a direct verbatim quote of you, so I am inclined to agree with you that your sentence is gibberish if you say it is.

I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.

Re: Question to Scott about Scott from Sculptor1
Good for you. I am.
Back to the topic.
3 statments - all true.
Taxation is not imposed on people who have no money. TRUE
Taking money from the system is voluntary. TRUE
Therefore taxation is also voluntary. Correct conclusion.
If you do not want to pay tax, then don't take their money. You can live off the grid, or find yourself a place to live where you shall not be taxed.
