Taxation is not defensive. We cannot justify any action on moral terms unless we claim that the desperation of the circumstances demanded it. For why would there be guilt to steal bread for a starving child? Stealing bread for a starving child assumes a connectedness between the victim of the theft and the guardian of the child. Why can't you raise your own child, by yourself? If you are a victim then make the case, or ask for charity. Would we want to help someone who will damage us if we refuse? Perhaps we should help in spite of the death threat from the State?
Is it because we will be attacked that we seek to help others? Why would a person do charity if the Government is responsible for our illnesses? Do we dare not to help? Does the Government dare not to help? Let people sort things out for themselves.
Does the Government help people? Can people not help themselves without Government?
