Compulsory taxation—such as income, corporate, carbon, and capital gains taxes—are theft, taking justly earned money by force. I support any and all measures aimed to eliminate these, replacing them with a voluntary tax, direct payments for services, and crowdfunding. Keeping earnings in Canadians’ pockets will boost saving, investment, production, and consumption, energizing the economy. During the transition, a 5% GST will fund military, police, and courts, acting as a semi-voluntary tax tied to consumer choice.
