“What makes taxation not theft?”/“Magical fairy dust.”
“What makes taxation not theft?” is a meme that has been printed on many images:
“What makes sex NOT rape? Consent.
What makes employment NOT slavery? Consent.
What makes a transaction NOT a robbery? Consent.
What makes a visit NOT an invasion? Consent.
What makes taxation NOT theft? Magical fairy dust.”
