I see a lot of anarchists here on Steemit saying "taxation is theft."
TAXATION IS NOT THEFT!!! IT IS 100% MORAL AND NECESSARY.
Please enjoy my original animation from "We the People Studios" to see why!!!!!! The reason is one magic word! This is exclusively on Steemit. It will remain unlisted on YouTube until the end of the voting period.
*Also read below the video to learn about production methods, equipment used, etc., etc.
Enjoy!!!
Production methods:
Here is my state-of-the-art iPhone taped to my son's robot toy with professional high-grade state-of-the-art "tape" or as we call it here in the studio, "brown tape."
Music: Statin' the Blues by Graham Smith
If you would like We the People Studios (actually a front for an anarchist organization) to have better shit to use to make nicer videos in the future, please consider upvoting, sharing, and commenting!
Peace! Love, and Taxes!!!!

Taxation most definitely IS theft.
Force or threat of force is used to take your money.
Who takes it and What the money is used for is irrelevant.

Taxation is not theft!
I'm not a lawyer and I have never played one on TV, but taxation is more like burglary or robbery than theft. If you don't pay, they WILL eventually come after you with force.
Here's a pretty clear legal explanation of the difference between the three:

"Just my 7 cents (2 cents after taxes and inflation)."

That's wonderful!
I don't actually want you to be able to afford better equipment, because I like the style of this video just the way it is! But I up-voted anyway because I enjoyed watching it.

Haha. I hear you, @ribuck. In some ways, limitations can set us free, right? It's like too many choices of blue jeans (or anything else), you'll just get stuck at the store for hours. Gotta move!

Thank you for stating the obvious about taxation! I grew kind of tired to read this mantra about "taxation is theft" ... I'm planning to post my own thing about it. Stay tuned!
