Also that CEO has an eminently punchable face.

When I entered the work force in 2005, it was with a company that had never had a layoff in its thirty-year history.
Then, in 2009, they had their first layoff, and I learned later our CEO had taken an 80% pay raise that year.
Taxes aren’t theft. Literally firing people and taking their salaries is theft.

Taxes are theft the specific way they are designed in most countries.
Another example of theft is a hired administrator administrating by the criterion of their own pay.
I mean, it is understandable how this works - their pay is a counterweight to the incentive to “mismanage” the company if someone else pays a fitting price. The issue here is that these two incentives do not completely neutralize each other, in some dimension their components add up.
Why I had to say that taxes are still theft - because a CEO is equivalent to a state official in this issue. It’s the same problem.
Political ideologies divide these problems, because political ideologies are like hedge funds, they diversify investments, so that every political ideology could be usable in every landscape for every policy. They are the opposite of consistent, by design.

You make zero sense and I feel dumber to have read your comment.

Then I have improved your self-consciousness. Thank you.

Taxes aren’t because they come from societal structure i.e agreement that we’re better off pooling resources

Is that your reading comprehension or my bad English?

Great reply. I’m not into escalation. Only read the “taxes is theft”
