We allow assholes to vote

[j.p.]

We expressly give our duly elected leaders permission to raise revenue as they see fit within the constructs of the constitution. No serious candidate has advocated for voluntary taxation. So we now exactly what's going on when we enter the voting booth. I guess 100% of the voters are masochists. We like being forced into servitude.

Kinda how a Constitutional Republic works.

The problem is not taxation, It's that everybody wants the government to give them stuff.
