>>108736869Yes it is, my sweet tender rosebud. Most laws are there punish bad things that happen to you, not to give you freedom to do things. The fact that some people and countries want it the other way around... well, those countries often wind up economic shitholes. Who would've guessed.
They arrest you if you don't pay taxes, which is an immoral action because they want to force you to do something. Making that a law is a shit law. That was my point, they're enforcing an evil action by putting it into law.
You imply people are dying because I don't want to give them money? Where? In Africa, maybe, but that shithole won't be saved through donations. If you want to take my money away because you think it's immoral for me not to give it away, then I'll defend it regardless of how many people say your actions are justified.
>>108736886>where everyone is out for themselves like a Machiavellian jackal trying to screw and scam everyone elseYou never read anything by Ayn Rand, have you?

>>108736928The government having a monopoly on these various services allows them to do what they want and have the quality set to whichever they find most practical. If they had a challenger who made a better product, and no allowance to stop the challenger under pain of force, then they'd either have to improve their products or bugger off. Public education is a joke precisely because the government decides on the quality of it.
