It would be an instructive exercise for the skeptical reader to try to frame a definition of taxation which does not also include theft.

I had difficulty being friends with women who hadn't worked in either the sex or beauty industries. I felt like other women sometimes overvalued beauty and sexuality, when in actuality, they're just parts of a job.
