Is stealing O.K. as long as it goes towards a "good" cause?
Most people (almost all) seem to think we have to have taxation.
Given that you can't opt out of taxation (unless you are very rich anyway), this is the forced taking of wealth, against SOME peoples wishes.
Some people may just think they pay too much taxation, but again they have no choice, so it is taking of wealth against their wishes.
This is theft by any definition. Theft by the state, given a mandate by the people.
Given that, I have to assume that most people actually do believe that stealing is O.K. for the greater good.
Can everyone just confirm that for me with a yay or a nay.
