Nope, not me (Micah perhaps?) For me there are 3 requirements for taxation: 1) the tax revenue is for a legitimate government function, 2) the correct entities are taxed & 3) the tax is fair (neither too high nor too low). For instance: 1) The Securities & Exchange Commission is a legitimate government function 2) Its cost should be paid for (by taxes or fees) by those involved in securities & exchange 3) Such taxes & fees should match the SEC's cost . For the radical libertarian position that "taxation is theft": http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/666806/posts Craig Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
