"When a portion of wealth is transferred from the person who owns it--without his consent and without compensation, and whether by force or by fraud--to anyone who does not own it, then I say that property is violated; that an act of plunder is committed...
"How is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime."
Pretty good, eh? I thought so.

Is taxation non-consensual redistribution of wealth?
Where do you draw the line of consensual re-distribution. Schools? Roads? Police? CDC?
See the next post.
