Walter Williams on Taxes

If you go back to the article, the Williams is not arguing for zero taxes. Many of the items you cite (military hardware, roads, etc.) I would bet he would say are proper uses for taxes. What he is arguing against redistribution (i.e., taking from one and giving to another) of wealth because he believes it is legalized stealing.



I've head this argument made many times before. Frankly, I'd rather have the money go to more police to protect me from these folks than give in to blackmail.
Actually, his article is arguing for zero taxes. He says that all redistribution through governmental coercion is morally the equivalent of slavery. He makes no distinction or allowance for taxes for one versus another. His argument is in blak or white and holds together with all the logical force of a five-year old.
