Coercion is not helpful

The desire to tax others is motivated by revenge for perceived wrongdoings...

We would not seek to tax others unless we feel that we are in some way owed. We would be reluctant to use force in this way on a person we see as virtuous, without identifying it as a crime. If we steal bread for our starving child from a friend, we recognise that as a (justifiable) crime. If it is stolen from someone we consider worthy to suffer, it is not seen in the same light and is regarded in a similar manner to taxation. Taxes are justified in the minds of Socialists (the author can read minds) to compensate for the crime of the subject. In this model, we live in a perpetual sea of crime for which there is no end.

The people should be free of tax, since collectively they are not criminal as a group.

We do not have positive rights.

The labour of others is never a right; only freedom is a right.
