Taxes should be voluntary, but if you don't pay them then you get zero access to public services and you also don't get to vote.

Some people will choose this and that's fine. Everyone should have a right to opt out, but it goes both ways.

If you want to participate in civilization then you must contribute to civilization. No freeloaders.

Fully agree. We who chose to opt out should be given the choice to use services on a pay as you go basis. If I need to get a broken bone sorted, I'd pay a pretty penny to a hospital if someone in my community hadn't set up that facility yet.

Why no right to vote though?
