Antitaxation

/ˌæn.tɪtækˈseɪ.ʃən/ noun

Definition

Opposition to or resistance against the system of taxation and government taxes.

Etymology

From anti- (against) + taxation (the system of collecting taxes), from French taxation, from Late Latin taxatio. This noun form formalizes antitax as an ideology or political stance.

Kelly Says

Complete antitaxation movements have historically failed because you need *some* collective funds for roads, courts, and armies—but the debate about *how much* tax is legitimate has raged from ancient Rome to today.
