Taxation is theft, especially property taxes. You pay off your house but taxes are $3000 a year...

Where I'm living in the UK, the hellish welfare state, there is a local mentally ill man. He is being given welfare (whilst also committing benefit fraud) to exist, and spends that existence assaulting people, trashing the house he shares with other struggling people, ordering takeout after takeout, buying endless cigarettes and then the tax payer, on top of paying for his housing and drugs, will then be paying for his inevitable treatment costs.

Taxation is currently at a extreme imbalance where the wealthy are able to write off even housing as a tax deduction.

Eliminate at least these deductions, better still increase the darn taxes on the very wealthy. So that the average person can afford anything.

Yes they write off their housing and transportation! It's a business deduction.

Is it no wonder that less than the top 1% make more than the bottom 90% combined? 🤷🏻‍♂

Umm no. Taxation is not theft. You drive on roads and other infrastructure, public services, etc. They are not funded by pixie dust.

Anyone who thinks taxation is theft seem to have absolutely no idea how the services they use are paid for and seem to think it happens by magic.

How else would you propose paying for the roads you drive on, the rule of law you rely upon to stop others from taking possession of your home?

Of course, using these services wirhout paying for them would be a form of theft . .
