Abortion is murder, socialism is theft, homosexuality is perversion, all politicians are lying to you. We need a new government, not a new president.

"Taxation is theft!" (2/2)
In short, the issue is not taxation versus no taxation, but just taxation versus legalized plunder. Taxation, rightly understood, is a means by which citizens contribute proportionally to the maintenance of the civil order, not a device for the state to feed on every sale, gift, inheritance, possession, or paycheck it can reach. Therefore, if government taxes at all, it must do so narrowly, proportionally, and only upon true personal increase. Everything beyond that is the state reaching where it has no right to be.
English

"Taxation is theft!" (1/2)
God authorized governments to do certain things. Thus, they must have a source of revenue. Thus, taxation is necessary, at least on some level. And since God does not authorize what is inherently immoral, taxation itself is not something inherently immoral. Thus, the statement, "Taxation is theft!" is only true as a general rule of thumb under certain conditions, not as an absolute.
So what, if any, are the boundaries for a government to tax its citizens?
God said that 10% tax is tyranny. We are effectively taxed at 50% currently.
What kinds of taxation are there? Valid or invalid?
Tax on:
- Sales: invalid. To begin with, the government does not have the right to conscript businessmen into becoming tax collectors.
- Inheritance: invalid. It punishes a man for building generational wealth and leaving his lawful estate to his children, and treats the inheritance as though it belongs first to the state.
- Estate: invalid. It's an inheritance tax, imposed before distribution, seizing from the household at death.
- Property: invalid. It turns ownership into perpetual rent paid to the state, implying you never truly own your own property.
- Wealth/Net Worth: invalid. It punishes mere possession of assets.
- Gift: invalid. The state has no right to any portion of something given freely from one man to another.
- Corporate: invalid. Corporations do not bear taxes in the abstract, merely shift the burden onto actual people while obscuring who is really being taxed.
- Payroll: invalid. It is a disguised tax on labor often tied to funding unjust state programs.
- Capital Gains: invalid. It taxes the conversion/sale of assets rather than straightforward increase, often functioning as an additional tax on growth.
- Tariffs/Import: invalid. These taxes punish trade and unfairly raise prices through state interference of lawful exchanges.
- Excise: invalid. It singles out particular lawful goods/activities for selective punishment through taxation.
- Value-Added tax (VAT): invalid. It embeds taxation throughout the production chain, hiding the true burden while taxing exchange at multiple stages.
- Use: invalid. It extends sales-tax logic by taxing possession/use after purchase, reaching beyond the sale itself.
- Luxury: invalid. It penalizes lawful purchases (further raising the price) simply for being expensive, and making envy (one of the "seven deadly sins") a principle of taxation.
- Poll/Head: invalid. It taxes mere existence/civil presence.
- Land Value: invalid. It punishes the possession of real property.
- License and Permit: invalid. The state has no right to make ordinary freedoms into taxable privileges.
- Severance: invalid. It's a punishment on the lawful extraction/use of resources from property a man already owns.
- Stamp/Transfer: invalid. It punishes formalizing lawful transactions/property transfers.
- Lodging/Occupancy: invalid. It's a sales tax imposed upon temporary use/exchange.
- Tolls/Road Use: invalid. Punishes the lawful use of infrastructure intended for public use, which is one of the few legitimate responsibilities of government to build and maintain.
- Sin: invalid. The government has no right to selectively tax lawful goods or vices as a tool of moral manipulation, because vice is to be punished as crime where God authorizes it, not monetized for revenue where He does not.
- Income tax: invalid. It taxes whatever comes in, not necessarily what is actually gained, and can therefore punish labor, recovery, or normal receipts rather than merely taxing true personal income.
- Personal Increase: valid. Taxing only true net gain, it calls even the poor to contribute proportionally from their increase, affirming their dignity not as dependents of society, but as responsible participants in it.

🇯🇵 A Muslim lady from the UK explains: "Japan is overrated. I don't like it because it's not Muslim friendly. Their rice is boiled in pork water". Actually, one of the best things about Japan is exactly that: we're not Muslim friendly. 🤷🏻♀️ Too bad for you.

We owe it to our Japanese friends to be the kind of Americans they want us to be.

@rai_desu_0218 To be fair, that fridge doesn't look too big. About the size of one of the fridges I have, and I can carry it on my own as well.
