I see where you're coming from but I have to slightly disagree. I don't believe taxes are theft. I believe those administering them have become very thieving in nature. I believe providing the necessary socialized services that taxes are intended for is a cornerstone of a civil society not ruled by anarchy where truley only the strong survive. On the flip side I also believe our system of government has also become so convoluted that it only fulfils these social services superficially and inadequetely despite having the funding to do so through global economics. I don't mind paying taxes as long as they go towards what they are supposed to. For example our defense budget is is $100 million larger than the next 8 biggest countries COMBINED yet I can attest through personal experience as a veteran that many of the solidries in harms way are ill equipped and the care for us after coming home is a bare minimum. I'd happily pay my taxes for this to not be so.

The system has become convoluted purposefully. Most of us have lives and can't pay attention to the daily antics of politicians. Around the 1930's Hoover descibed the halls of Congrees as being abuzz with "a locust swarm of lobbyists". When companies started to assert more influence over politicians then consumer protection or workers rights groups the dynamics of government changed. Fast forward to today and we have Washington run totally by corporate welfare in an over complicated system that 90% of us care not to try and understand.

Saving grace? Light at the end of the tunnel? Decentralization. Blockchain technology isn't just for making money or awesome social medias like @steemit. Decentralization has the power to give our governing back to the people like a Republic is supposed to be. Free flow of information. Publically funded elections. Even playing fields for finance. We're in the beginnings of a fundamental shift in how the world is administrated and the elites are scrambling to adjust. Our job now is to keep driving the adoption and development of different applications of blockchain tech so we can get back to a system where taxation is not theft

Good post. Keep pushing for change.
