A tax is defined as "a compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the government on workers' income and business profits or added to the cost of some goods, services, and transactions." As a verb it is defined "impose a tax on (someone or something)."
The word levy is from the old French lever "to lift"
A tax (from the Latin taxo) is a financial charge or other levy imposed upon a taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by a state or the functional equivalent of a state to fund various public expenditures.
The primary purpose of taxes is to raise revenue to fund government.
Some desire to believe that taxation is theft simply because you are forced to pay it.
Is the power of a state or the functional equivalent of a state limited or unlimited?
Tribute is a tax mentioned in the Bible.
The Bible says that the slothful should be under tribute.
So is taxation a result of sloth?
The 20% tax in Egypt came about because the people had not prepared for the Famine. The rich man known as the Pharaoh stored grain and all of Egypt except the priest went under a tax because they did not have enough food and needed to apply to Pharaoh. His condition in order to obtain his benefits was they had to waive a right to a portion of their labor.
Everyone literally became the Employees of the Pharaoh when they sold themselves into bondage to get his benefits.
Taxation is also the result of covetousness of you or your parents or both. The bondage of Egypt is a good example of such generational bondage. Jealousy and envy may tempt people to bite one another in covetous practices like socialism.
Taxation is justice when you have not been just.
What does it mean to not be just? It means that you either have been covetous of your neighbors goods through benefactors who exercise authority and the fathers of the earth or you have been slothful in attending to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.
The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.
The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.
The modern Christians are in need of repentance.

What is and where does the power to tax come from?
Taxes are sometimes referred to as "direct taxes" or "indirect taxes". The meaning of these terms can vary. An economic definition states that "...direct taxes may be adjusted to the individual characteristics of the taxpayer, whereas indirect taxes are levied on transactions irrespective of the circumstances of buyer or seller."
For example, income tax is "direct", and sales tax is "indirect" according to some opinions but may have different meanings in law. In U.S. constitutional law, for instance, direct taxes refer to poll taxes and property taxes, which are based on simple existence or ownership. Indirect taxes are imposed on events, rights, privileges, and activities. Thus, a tax on the sale of property would be considered an indirect tax, whereas the tax on simply owning the property itself would be a direct tax.
The problem is that Legal title does not include the ownership.
Employment is about slavery.
Going to Public schools a the expense of your neighbor set you up to be fooled. They did not teach you about Plutarch and Polybius warnings to say nothing of John the Baptist.

To find the answers, we must seek and strive to do what Jesus said the way He said to do it... Including attending to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.
