Take a look at this video, Luke Stokes talks about the scandal that is going on about EOS.
Additionally, I'd like to mention that If we don't protect each others right to defend our properties, than there is no sense to create any society. So if in a normal country 's people constantly pay tax to potentially protect our property, in EOS case "tax" could be the frozen chain time period payed by community to protect each other's property, only when robbery actually happens.
