Terminal Tax

Do it nice and easy now
Don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm
And a lot of soul
--Grand Funk Railroad

I love Union Terminal. It may be the best of all Cincinnati landmarks. Its art deco structure, the murals, its position in American history indeed make it a true treasure.


However, my love for Union Terminal gives me no right to force others to surrender resources to preserve it. I am aggressing on them if I do.

This is why there is no such thing as a 'good' tax levy. Unless all are for it, in which case government enforcement is not necessary because voluntary cooperation rules the day, tax levies are instruments of force--the majority furthering their interests by robbing the minority.

When people say 'let's do something about it,' they mean 'let's get hold of the political machinery so that we can do something to somebody else.' And that somebody is invariably you.
