No. Any government should allow it's citizens to be robbed at will.

Is this a serious reply or simply sarcasm?
The government should protect them. Otherwise things would get really bad really fast as soon as some lowlife realize how much money he can make my forming a gang and robbing everyone blind.

That depends.
What is the governments source of the income it will need to protect the peaceful citizens?

Yes. But wait... isn't that what the government does? So should the government protect peaceful citizens from itself? If it does, wouldn't it deplete itself because it's protecting others from itself taking taxes? If it depletes, how can the government protect people from itself now if it has no resources?

Ask your tax authority in govt., why he needed to tax you, when the taxpayer is King, and get back to me.

James L. Payne, an economist who has written a number of scholarly articles on the American tax system, testified before a House Congressional committee, "If an enemy power bent on destroying our Nation were somehow given the opportunity to devise our tax code with a goal of sapping the Nation of its economic vitality...it could do little better than adopt our current Internal Revenue Code."
Regardless, the debate over taxes should be about whether this money should be spent by a federal government, where much of it is wasted, or the private sector, where it is usually spent more efficiently and would do much more to create jobs and hold current prices steady.

Can you show me where in the US Constitution it is said that Congress is to turn over tax revenue to the private sector to provide for the general welfare?
