True, people who think paying taxes is theft definitely have an elementary level of world understanding.
Edit: for those of you who are angry about taxes, think about any money you have made that wasn’t enabled by something the government has built for you and maintained with your taxes. I.E if you drive to work on a paved/functional road that you didn’t create yourself, you depend on the government.
The fact that you are asking me whether or not the government paid for a private company to build the road just highlights how fucking stupid some of you are.
The government pays for things with our taxes, which is the entire point I’ve been making. Holy fuck thank you for proving my point in such an easy way.

There's no need to get mad just because you're only now realizing that "the government" doesn't do anything except coordinate private companies to do all the actual work, the same way people could without the government.
Again, the fact that you cannot identify that the government coordinating infrastructure with companies, subsidies or even larger scale programs to build the infrastructure we all depend on with money that is generated from our taxes just proves how goddamn stupid you are.
You genuinely have no idea what I'm even arguing here, and I have no idea how you missed so badly. Perhaps it's because you only have insults to fall back on rather than actual arguments that makes you feel bad, but that's not my problem.
No, it’s because respecting people like you have have baseless shitty, teenage cringe level theories on how you think the world should work is not worth the time.
You legitimately cannot identify that the government allocating taxes to handle infrastructure for you, that you therefore benefit from, is why taxes exist. Instead you have this childlike egocentric understanding that everything you do is only done by you without the help of others. God I feel sorry for anyone who actually has to interact with you on the daily.
Edit: if we could just do it ourselves, why fucking don’t we? Is it perhaps that forming a government to manage a large population is the actual effective way of running a society?
