Is this New York Times op-ed saying what I think it’s saying?
Anti-tax zealots denounce all taxation as theft, as depriving citizens of their right to spend their hard-earned incomes as they see fit. Yet nowhere does the Constitution grant us the right not to be taxed. Nor does it grant us the right to harm others with impunity. No one is permitted to steal our cars or vandalize our homes. Why should opponents of taxation be allowed to harm us in less direct ways?
He seems to be saying that opposing taxes is like theft or vandalism, but surely no one would say something so stupid.
