Understanding the "Declaration of Independence" What is "Natural Law"? - Knowing Rights, "Taxation"

“Knowing Rights” - “Taxation”

“Taxation” - the claim of a group of people that calls themselves “government” have been given the right to confiscate an arbitrary-chosen percentage of the product of another individual’s labor (a form of property), whether or not the other agrees to share that product voluntarily.

Taxation is enforced by the threat of violence (behavior resulting in bodily harm) or imprisonment (the taking away of physical freedom or movement) if those from whom the product is being seized attempt to resist the confiscation.

This practice is always “justified” (made into a “right”) by those who claim that such a practice is necessary and required to “uphold the common good”.

If we define “Slavery” as the involuntary confiscation of 100% of the product of labor of another human being, we can clearly see that no magical percentage to which we could lower the number (other than 0%) that would no longer constitute “Slavery”.

If we are being honest with ourselves, Taxation is merely a euphemism for theft, violence, and slavery, the practices upon which it is actually based.

Since no individual on Earth has the “right” to claim ownership of the product of another’s labor, such behavior can never be “delegated” to a group and called a “right”. Therefore all forms of “taxation” are always wrong according to “Natural Law”.
