Taxation is something that is accepted as part of life. Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes”. It is this mentality that has allowed Governments to impose tax at will with minimal resistance from the people. Should we accept taxation as a part of life or should we question its existence and extent. This video attempts to address this question as well as provide references to other sources that discuss in great detail the whole idea of taxation. I hope you enjoy the video.
I have a post containing a more detailed summary of this same topic. This post is available at: https://steemit.com/economics/@spectrumecons/taxation-dark-side-of-economics-2
