No, there should not be. States that levy income taxation for provided services have the authority to enforce those. People also have the right to move through states should they not like those taxes or service. SS and medicare, or any other federally determined blanket such as these, are unconstitutional and therefore, not authorized. And yes, they are theft by force/violence.
What do you propose that seniors do who can't work anymore and who have medical costs far exceeding their savings?
That question requires the understanding that medical costs are extremely expensive in the US because of the govt. meddling in the industry from all angles. From fostered monopolies, to oppressive malpractice laws, etc...
I would propose that under the current system, they are going to be fucked no matter what. Prices will continue to rise on everything under the current corporatist environment. So we saddle these costs onto taxpayers current and those not yet born, and the govt. that takes and gives has gotten tot he point it actually can not even take enough and therefore must borrow from other nations to foot these bills.
Your question is relevant, it is just not answerable simply under the context of taxation. The answer is more complicated than that.
You're right it's a complicated issue. That's why I was asking for ideas about what should be done. I'd LOVE a society that wasn't dependent on government or ruled by corporate interests, but the facts are that is the society we have and unless we are willing to do something dramatic and completely fuck over a large portion of our country (more so than we are now) then I don't know how we change things.
