So why do Muslim scholars and Muslims generally not condemn this theft? Some might say well we benefit from the taxes because we get schools, hospitals, roads...but it is still theft and whether we benefit or not is debatable. Our taxes are used to pay interest on money borrowed by governments (meaning we pay billions and millions). As individuals we cannot go around forcing other people to give sadaqa or charity, nor can we force others to buy our products or services if they can buy these from others in a 'free' or 'open' market. Governments tax us and force us to accept their substandard services and products. The whole taxing system just gives lots of power to people who do not deserve it and people who abuse it and grab more power for themselves and their friends.
I hope so.. Lol
