The sole purpose of government is to control populations and gather power with which to further control their populations. In all of history, there has never been a government whose main interest was the benefit of the individual. Therefore, I subscribe to no political theory, because none actually work. I tolerate the government I live under because I, as an individual, have little choice.

It is another way to take the money and property from the person, and also another criminal charge against them.\n\nThe criminal is suppose to go in and buy stamps for thier illegal drugs,  Thus while the drugs are illegal, they are paying thier taxes on them.\n\nSo if the criminal is not paying the taxes,  the state can seize the property of the criminal for non payment of taxes.

You can't provide jobs for all the people, it creates a large strain on infrastructure as you have to hire police/fire/school all of those people, you have to build roads and buildings for the people.  You have to tax everyone more to provide for the overpopulated cities where people have no jobs.

WOW!  A lot of questions!\n\nIdeally, government agencies should do what is best for the people they govern.  I'm not sure what country you are in, but why should we pay for government services?  Don't all citizens of almost all countries already "pay" for government services through taxes?\n\nAnd when was the last time you saw a group of people without a government?  It won't work.  Humans need leadership of some sort.  All groups of people from the beginning of time have had government of some form.  Even tribes in Africa still have "Chiefs" as do the Native American tribes in America.  Someone or group must govern a group of people.  Unfortunately, we are "sheep" and need leadership.

Because its not your money.  They believe the money belongs to whoever, "needs it", and not to the person that earned it.  They only way they can make sure it is distributed to their supporters to to first take it away from the people that actually earned it.

Sure I do. Income tax is usually geared to help the wealthy, the people in power. If government income was to come from sales tax alone, and on everything except food it would much more fair for the poor. The more you buy, the more taxes you pay, what could be more fair?
