Do you have a response to any of the points I laid out?

Taxes are extortion. Pure and simple. If you don’t pay you go to jail.
Statism is the most dangerous religion humans practice.
Every single law is a potential death sentence to someone out there.
The free market would provide everything one is extorted for better faster and cheaper.
extortion:
noun
Illegal use of one's official position or powers to obtain property, funds, or patronage.
That’s the definition of extortion. I think taxes fail to meet this definition, because you get something in return for them. The rest of what you said isn’t an argument. It’s just your feelings.
You should change your avatar, you are not living up to Chad. Sorry.
Name-calling is an Ad Hominem type of Red Herring logical fallacy, and is not a valid argument. Dude, like I’m right-wing as fuck, and I’m a bitcoin maxi. Get better arguments. Stay humble. Stay open minded. Think critically. Question things. I’m still letting you try to convince me otherwise, so far you just haven’t given me a good argument I can’t refute in 0.2 seconds.
“Property taxes' rank right up there with 'income taxes' in terms of immorality and destructiveness. Where 'income taxes' are simply slavery using different words, 'property taxes' are just a Mafia turf racket using different words. For the former, if you earn a living on the gang's turf, they extort you. For the latter, if you own property in their territory, they extort you. The fact that most people still imagine both to be legitimate and acceptable shows just how powerful authoritarian indoctrination is. Meanwhile, even a brief objective examination of the concepts should make anyone see the lunacy of it. 'Wait, so every time I produce anything or trade with anyone, I have to give a cut to the local crime lord??' 'Wait, so I have to keep paying every year, for the privilege of keeping the property I already finished paying for??' And not only do most people not make such obvious observations, but if they hear someone else pointing out such things, the well-trained Stockholm Syndrome slaves usually make arguments condoning their own victimization. Thus is the power of the mind control that comes from repeated exposure to BS political mythology and propaganda.”

Sure, you can debate the way in which taxes are collected and I encourage you to do so; that is perfectly valid…property tax, income tax, consumer tax, etc…. But that’s not the root of the argument though. The root of the argument is whether they should exist. And they should. You have failed to demonstrate why they should not.
