The title of this thread (and the intro sentences) are eerily familiar. I would have bet money this thread already existed. I mean, this has been discussed plenty of times before, but I swear I remember someone titling the thread that and then saying in the post that they were “guilty” too and apologizing for using a “shocking” title. Incredibly weird.
Anyway, this as been addressed plenty of times, for years. Notably by Walter Block.
We also went into this quite a bit in the Against Taxes thread.
