You're thinking of a pure democracy without any Consitutional
protections, wherein if 50.0000000001% of the people vote to confiscate
your property, then it's legal for them to do so. Society, under a
constituional republic, can only tax to the degree that their
constitution allows them to.  Going beyond that is stealing regardless
of liberals euphemistically calling the unauthorized confiscation
"taxes".

I always knew that your brand of liberal believed that the state had an
unlimited right to my property, but I never thought any were so totally
blind to basic principles as to openly admit that they believed that. 
Guess I was wrong.
