I really don't understand this all this raving. Do you really believe that
people go around robbing other people at swordpoint?


If John and Peter get together and take money from Paul at gunpoint, we call
it armed robbery. If two thousand voters get together and decide to take
money from another thousand, we call it taxation.

Do you really believe that the collection of taxes is not backed up with the
threat of armed force?

You missed my point. Do you think "liberals" are going around robbing people
at the point of swords? Do you think taxation is an invention of "liberals"?
Do you think that any war could be fought without the "armed robbery" of
taxation?
