Taxation without representation. The battle cry of many during the early revolutionary days of our

nation’s founding and the thought that it was the primary reasoning for launching the act of defiance

that we all know today as the “Boston Tea Party.” But it goes much deeper than that. The colonists were

fed up with having to pay for the French and Indian wars the British were fighting, that in no way

represented their interests, being taxed at increasing rates for common goods they used, and having a

premium placed on items that were considered “luxuries.” Fast forward more than two hundred years

later and here we stand having our pocketbooks raided by greedy hands as we watch the latest in

bomber technologies fly into lands for no explicable reasoning other than a nebulous statement and

falsified fears. We scrimp by for necessities, and the simplest of pleasures comes with an ever-increasing

price tag. But things are great again right?

This week’s guest on The Malliard Report has had enough. Enough of the way things are ran, enough of

people being treated as if they are property, and enough of people being unable to live a life that truly

fulfills who they are called to be. This week to the show, Jim welcomes the head of the “Taxation is

Theft” movement, presidential candidate, and advocate for pineapple on pizza, Dan Taxation Is Theft

(yes, he legally had his middle name changed) Behrman.

“Dan Behrman is an international speaker, promoting the ideas that Taxation Is Theft,

that individual freedom is paramount to the government, and that we are not government property. He

is the founder of the Taxation Is Theft Shop, and host of the Taxation Is Theft Podcast Dan was born in

Los Angeles, California and worked successfully as a video producer and editor for commercial and non-

profit organizations and celebrities. He is also a software engineer who has worked with multi-million

dollar international startups and Fortune 500 companies. In his career he has never found a problem too

big to solve, recognizing that the best solution is often the simplest. He is a supporter of free markets,

individual rights, environmental and social issues, and has delivered this message to 6 continents,

empowering people in some of the world's most impoverished nations. As a digital nomad, he is

currently running his presidential campaign from Cancun, Mexico. As president, he seeks to transform

the federal government into one that interacts with its citizens on a purely voluntary basis, so that we

can be free from the coercive nature of abusive taxation and regulation”
