Taxation

[amenyahu]

But the power given to a king or government according to these laws do tell me that even under the Jewish system or the Torah system, we are still all slaves or serfs of one type or another. Those laws make what the governments of the world are doing now acceptable and legal. These laws essentially give the government the right to take anything from someone, except their lives. These laws seem to clearly state that the taking of children and possessions is completely fine as long as the government is consistent in doing it and that we have to forever live with someone else's hand in our pockets, that is unless one becomes a hermit and removes oneself from society. Even the notion of this can fill a person with despondency and dread for very good reason in this present age.
