X I consider Democracy to be very important but it is not the only thing of value. Hitler was elected. It wasn't really democracy because he didn't keep having votes, but he probably could have won elections again and again before everything started to fall apart for Germany during WWII. If the majority of the Germans voted for Hitler would that make the holocaust ok? No it would not. I'm not saying a 80% tax rate is the same as the holocaust (its not close to being as bad) but both in my opinion are unjust.

If you have a tax then you have a government that is stealing or extorting wealth. If this theft is popular it is still theft.
