Taxation is immoral, even if it claims to be going to a good cause.
Spooner believed that altruism should not be enforced, but that one still has a moral obligation to help others, writing: “Man, no doubt, owes many other moral duties to his fellow men; such as to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, care for the sick, protect the defenceless, assist the weak, and enlighten the ignorant. But these are simply moral duties, of which each man must be his own judge, in each particular case, as to whether, and how, and how far, he can, or will, perform them.”
