Agorist Thesis #1
1. Trade that is unregulated, untaxed, and unmonitored is the natural right of all human beings.
This thesis is pretty straightword, now let me sell my case to you.
Taxation is forcing people to spend money on goods or services they wouldn't do voluntarily. Taxation is bad economically, because it distorts the profit/loss signals the market provides - causing you to not know if your resources are being used wisely or not. Also, by taking away part of what I earn, it is less incentive for me to earn more - especially if there's different tax brackets.

Introduction to Agorism
Agorism is a political philosophy based on the belief that everything in society should be voluntary, a free market. Agorists believe that government is a coercive monopoly that shouldn't exist. Now, this is a hefty charge, - and raises skepticism across the political spectrum. Governments affect everyone, whether it be government managed roads, healthcare, courts, the postal service, public education, regulations, subsidies, taxes, police, fire departments, etc.
The Agorist argues against these services being government controlled on both moral and utilitarian levels.
