Taxation

The mandatory acquisition of wealth, resources or manpower from the inhabitants of a sovereign state or territory. Taxation is usually done without the consent of the people. The consequences for not paying taxes usually involves punitive actions ie: extortion.

Anarcho-Capitalists tend to liken Taxation and Theft.

Statists try to justify Taxation because it is needed to maintain Infrastructure, Policing, Military, and Social Programs. But all this leads to is the strengthening of the State Apparatus and bureaucracy, making the people even more dependent on the status quo.
