Libertarian Thought for the Day, from Mary J. Ruwart:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Through taxation, pacifists are forced at gunpoint to pay for killing machines;
vegetarians are forced at gunpoint to subsidize grazing land for cattle;
nonsmokers are forced at gunpoint to support both the production of tobacco and
the research to counter its impact on health
These minorities are the victims, not the initiators of aggression. Their only
crime is not agreeing with the priorities of the majority.
Taxation appears to be more than theft; it is intolerance for the preferences
and even the moral viewpoints of our neighbors.
Through taxation we forcibly impose our will on others in an attempt to control
their choices.
