More L/libertaran thoughts....

If taxation is theft, why is it wrong for the government to steal my money, but it's OK for the government  to enshrine into law the ability for others to steal my labor?  (This question is for the Johnsonite Libertarians out there)

If slavery is defined as forced labor for another, aren't people who support forcing service providers to provide services to others slave traders?  Are  (insert favorite protected class) rights so important and imperative that slavery is once again being allowed?

Yes, yes, yes, I know:  "if you aren't willing to serve everyone that comes thru the door, then just don't go into business"

Isn't that kind of the same as saying, "well, if you aren't ready and willing to go thru all the (ridiculous and unnecessary) red tape and pay all the (ridiculous and freedom restricting) fees to have a business, then you shouldn't have a business?"

I've heard it said that "no, it is NOT participating in a gay wedding to make a cake for it"....... is that really for someone other than the Christian baker and his faith to decide?  Who gives you the right to declare a religious belief correct or incorrect?  More importantly, what gives the state that right?  If anything, the first amendment PROHIBITS the state from exactly that kind of decision.
