Re: Simple reason why I do not think taxation = theft

The objection is not that those without land (specifically land - this issue strikes directly to the heart of the objection to territorial monopoly) are having something taken away from them. Rather, they form a second class of humans: those that require the permission of others to exist. Without the permission of others, they have no right to be on anyone's property, ergo they have no right to be without the permission of others. Enforcing strict property rights doesn't directly take any property from them, but simultaneously invalidates their right to self ownership.

The ALIO (all land is owned) problem. I still think there are serious problems with this scenario, one of the largest being the amount of land can be increased, contrary to the ALIO assumption of a fixed quantity of land. Hint: look at a major city's skyline.
To the OP, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Your intentions might be a mitigating factor, but they don't excuse your actions.
