NOZICK, Robert, 1938-2002 |
| Abstract: |
The article focuses on Robert Nozick's provocative comparison of taxation to forced labor, a bold assertion that aligns with other notable quotes about taxation. Topics include historical perspectives on taxation from Jean-Baptiste Colbert and Ben Franklin, legal viewpoints on the power of taxation from Chief Justice John Marshall, and Oliver Wendell Holmes's nuanced view on the role of taxes in supporting civilized society. |
