RE: Perception changes Everything - Is Taxation really theft?

in #government8 years ago

Having been a small business owner, I know the pain of writing out those checks - but there was a point when government overreach took it's toll. They literally had departments within the same construct coming into our business whenever they wanted - each time demanding a fee every time they crossed my threshold to dig for anything they could write up and tack on more fees and penalties. It was a classic case of one hand not knowing what the other was doing, not caring, and demanding payment anyway or they have "the right" to shut you down. That's small business in food service in New York. And then after being closed 3 years, they froze our assets because of "back taxes" on those years that we closed but "they never got the paperwork." That was theft in my eyes...and caused my family the loss of our house and to be late on all our bills. We're still recovering - and I'll think long and hard before I have another business like that where government regulators can take what they want, when they want it.
