if it isnt harmful then who cares? your argument, then, has no basis.
i think bunnies are harmful.
bunnies = theft.
DOWN WITH BUNNIES.
that thought progression makes about as much, and maybe more, sense than yours does. care to expand on your thesis: "why taxes are theft but theft doesn't matter and doesn't hurt anyone." [paraphrased]

Check your history; with the exception of a brief period during the Civil War, this country existed without federal income taxes until 1913. That's 139 years, including the time period where we had the most growth and innovation of a transportation infrastructure in our entire history

Also, i would argue that "139 years" of transportation infrastructure is a bit of a fallacy since we built most of this countries infrastructure a in the decade after WWII.

State income tax is not used to affect the entire country. So, for example, someone living in Alabama could choose to move to California because California allows state-funded stem cell research. Conversely, someone could move from California to Alabama because they prefer to live in a state that does not allow same-sex marriages.

no one is forcing you to stay... but if you do, you're crazy enough to run as a Natural Law candidate, so you got that going for ya.
