(While this slogan does appear from time to time among us right-wingers, I don't believe that it's correct, for the most part. Because government services must be paid for, some type of taxation is justified among the people served by the government. Whether the tax is based on income, sales, property, imports, something else, or some combination of these is a subject for public debate. On the other hand, when government takes from some people to bestow unearned benefits on others, in that particular case taxation may be viewed as theft. But enough of my $0.02.)
