What do you mean? Is this one of those sovereign citizen type of arguments? The government provides a range of services that are deemed to be broadly beneficial to society. Your refusal of that service doesn't change the fact that the service is being provided. If you don't like the services you can get involved in politics or you can leave, both are valid options, while claiming that you're being enslaved and robbed is not. | ||

Not at all. If it happens to you even when you don’t want it and don’t want to pay for it (and are forced to pay for it on threat of violence), that is no service. Literally nobody alive today was “involved in politics” when the US income tax amendment was legislated. Also, you can’t leave; doubly so if you are wealthy enough. Do you not know about the exit tax? |
