“Dad, why do you pay taxes if the government just prints money out of thin air?”

I’m so proud he asked the question, but what should I tell him?

I'd say the truth, but not radicalized. I think freedom can be described without ridiculing or judging the other side. That freedom doesn't need propaganda. So I would say that taxes are forced by violence, but I would also add that the people pushing for taxes are not necessarily evil, they just think that violence and a little bit of unfreedom is needed to run society, while there are also people (us) who think that it can be done without violence and with full freedom, and these two groups are now arguing a little bit about how it will be and it is not quite clear yet. If the non-violent and free way is really as good as we think, there will be no need to defend it :). An unvarnished description of reality will suffice. Maybe. Dont know , jist an idea :).
