A view on different taxes

especially in regard to the situation in Greece.

Well my opinion about taxes it that they are theft in any case, It's not a deal you may make or may not do. You live in country X the "authorities" from country X will tax you. You have no choice but comply, otherwise you will be "convinced" at the point of a gun and/or face hard times in jail.

It would be a little better if you'd have the chance at least to state for what you are willing to pay. Let' s assume e.g the higway were build from the government. And you use them . The right thing would be to charge only those using the highways. That would be just. Anyway if you'd had at least the chance saying from my taxes x% are for the highways. (It's just an example) this would be at least fit something a little bit like a market. But you do not even have that choice. So without doubt taxes are payments without some guranteed return. So in fact it's theft and because it involves the "violence monoply" of the state it's even worse

But income taxes are less expropriating as taxes on substance and or deat taxes. If there is an even more unjust type of tax, those are the candidates. Assume e.g you earn exaclty the free income before income tax applied. You do not pay any tax than.. Now assume you earn just that much money and have a substance tax, as were introduced in Greece. Now you have to pay the tax and you get taxed before income tax can set in. Now what does that mean. You may have to ask for a credit to pay your taxes? And next year when the same holds the interestes and principals have to be paid and the taxes again?

So in fact taxes on the substance are absolutly incompatible with property. So they are the most unjust things ever put on tax payers. And that's the way Greece has gone. The requirements and payments get more and more injust. And still the same old gang is at the top. Now tell me something about hate....
