How does taxation differ from common theft?

[Think Richlyâ„¢]

Taxation = legalized (and enforced) robbery.
Taxation = robbing Peter to pay Paul (rob employee's hard earned money to pay to special interest groups)

Sadly, in a 'democratic' country, if enough people (majority) says it's legal to rob, then it becomes legal to rob. In this case, 'democracy' is equal to two wolves and a lamb discussing what's for dinner.

In a constitutional republic, it's two wolves and an armed lamb discussing what's for dinner. However, the lamb's safety depends on how well it can use the gun against the predators.

My friend, our constitutional republic has degraded to the level of a social democracy (socialist democracy). If people don't wake up and take back the republic and restore the constitution, the Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness will be in the hands of a socialist brainwashed mob.
