J.-J. Rousseau on Taxation - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 47 Taxation/Rousseau: ...such interventions in the property of citizens are legitimate under the condition that the latter have consented to them, i.e. that the taxation is "voluntary"(1) - which is also guaranteed, as Rousseau states, as soon as the volonté générale has so decided, "by a majority of votes, and according to a proportional tariff which leaves nothing arbitrary to taxation".(2). For taxes today see: >Tax avoidence, >Tax competition, >Tax compliance, >Tax evasion, >Tax havens, >Tax incidence, >Tax loopholes, >Tax system, >Taxation, >Optimal tax rate. 1. J.-J.
