That is not the original intent of taxes though I admit it has become so.

Who exactly will decide how much everyone gets and how much they must do to get it?




Not sure, but I sure know that the current bunch who are making those decisions are not in it for service of others but for the promotion of their own status and position in society

So . . . if I steal your car I have a right to it because I possess it?

If you're messing with me.....then .....you're killing me. Smile

If not then, no, because the essence of what I am can't be stolen and still be what it is.

Not to mention that cars aren't sentient. They don't know they exist or care what happens to them, so the analogy doesn't hold.

If you're thinking about the slavery aspects then we get into what your life is worth to you, which brings us back to the beginning.

I'm just pointing out that there's more to having a right to something than merely possessing it.

You've hit upon some of the reasons that mere possession is insufficient.

No. The elimination of all extremities is what matters here....from my perspective at least...

Agreed, and as a result, throughout human history, millions have died, defenseless.

That doesn't change the fact that being a human, on this earth, at ANYTIME, is a special thing. If THAT isn't the basic premise then why have ANY conversations?
Well, a fact so long as anything matters.

When people die, as they have died, and continue to die, for no seemingly no reason; it's THEN that their absolute human rights were violated, and are being violated.

Of course on a cosmic scale, the concept of human rights, absolute or otherwise, are probably a joke. Smile

There is no taking in what I am proposing.

The only "taking" that is happening is in the system that you are currently living in. The tax systems of the world are taking money from your pocket in order to give housing and money for the unemployed.
You currently live by the rule "take from some in order to give to others"

I propose we try something different and see how it goes.....

What we currently have is not working....

What I propose has been debated for eons on threads here similar to this. I will not bring religion into it, but religion has a role to play....

Next question.

If your mother was to be raped and tortured on the way to getting her daily water supply (imaginary situation) would you see it as an injustice?
