Is income tax theft?

California is superior, I love paying taxes to help niggers in compton

First, some backstory.
I am a man. I do not come from wealth, nor has any member of my family going back hundreds of years. The most money any of us has had at any one point was the result of a lawsuit, because my mother was sexually assaulted by her general practitioner. It resulted in fifteen grand, which was admittedly squandered, quite quickly as well.
So that is context for who I am. I'm no rich man, no political or economic elite. I have worked for everything I have ever gotten.
Why is somebody else entitled to my earnings? When I work, I produce value for other people by offering goods and services. The result of bettering the lives of my customers is their business, which enriches my own life. I don't do it for them, I do it for my own personal gain. It just happens to benefit everyone else.
Why are you entitled to a piece of that pie? I have already done my part for society by creating value.

Texas has higher property taxes, retard

How is Oregon more expensive than New York? Same with Minnesota, holy shit I actually feel better about my state

Yes, because it goes straight into the pockets of tyrone, cole burning roasties and kiddie fiddling elites. Income tax has become code for white genocide.

Yes, taxation is theft and the IRS is full of full-time thieves with badges.
No one should be forced to pay for anything they don't want to, that's freedom

You still have a federal income tax, guy

Why do you feel entitled to Bezos' money, or why do you feel other people are entitled to it? Did he not earn it?
He doesn't have $150bn+. He is worth that much though, when you consider all his assets and holdings, almost none of which is cash or relatively liquid capital.

that because its such good property dumbfaggot

It sure feels like theft. Throwing money away to an oppressive and dysfunctional government

It's not all about income tax. For example, the gasoline tax in MN runs middle of the road. Also, there is no sales tax on groceries or clothing. And also. One needs to look at the whole picture.
That said, MN taxes overall are still pretty high at 10% total tax burden. This is somewhat offset by a slightly lower than average cost of living index.

Its an investment, if the state give you back enough in security, cleanliness, infrastructures... Its okay.
Its not the case in europe tho.

>Why do you feel entitled to Bezos' money, or why do you feel other people are entitled to it? Did he not earn it?
We live in a society.
>He doesn't have $150bn+. He is worth that much though, when you consider all his assets and holdings, almost none of which is cash or relatively liquid capital.
Fair point, he should turn some assets into liquid cash. You are basically saying he should be allowed to accumulate wealth until we all shop on amazon, drive amazon cars, live in amazon apartments, etc. This is how oligarchies start.

Washington has no income tax, and our state works pretty well.

Let me make sure I get this right.
>man creates service to fill a niche
>turns out that service fills huge market convenience gap
>service gets ridiculously popular (see: profitable)
>guy uses newfound money to make it even better, start new ventures
>AWS is born
>becomes literally the world's most popular service of its kind because of how good it is
>something like 40% of global network traffic comes from/goes through AWS
>somewhere along this path, he stopped deserving his success and needs his reward for over a decade of hard work stripped away
Am I missing something?

Washington is a surprise, are they gauging you some other way than by state income tax?

all taxation is theft

Checked and would explain my colleges nightmare living there

that depends on if you think a private corporation should be in charge of the creation of your money or not because of course that is what generates this tax in the first place, I would add that if it were a government agency it would be a tax, but seeing how its a private corporation, it's generally called profit

6.5% state sales tax plus local sales taxes between 1% and 4%.

Again, it depends on who you are and what you want. If you are healthy, single, with no intention of raising a family soon, Minnesota sucks. If you have a family and value education it is pretty good.
Minnesota spends 70% of the states budget in k-12 education and health & human services, split pretty evenly. If you don't have a need for either of those two things, you're subsidizing those who do.
We'll forgo how those things do benefit those who do not directly benefit from them for now because that's just like beating your head against a wall.
