Minimal State (Entitlement) TheoryRobert Nozick

• We are entitled to use our property as we see
  fit. The States legitimate power is limited to
  preventing harm and protecting property rights
• Taxation for anything other than protection (e.g,
  to impose a pattern to redistribute wealth) is
  unjust because it ignores how goods are acquired
  fairly through trade, labor, gifts, etc.
