In my book, all taxation is theft+market distortion, so yes

So you think I'm in the wrong for not wanting to risk my business by committing tax fraud?

If you're reporting the sale, charge tax

Definition of "fraud" not withstanding, no don't commit fraud of any sort.

But I think the decision to charge taxes on your products needs to soberly assessed when you know how that tax money gets used.

The requirement is being pressed onto your customers by the government, and they won't blame you for it. Nor do I, but I stand by my statement regarding the tax itself.

What you decide, and how you go about it, is up to you. And last point, I believe, is within the ethos of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin doesn't care about its users' political ideology. It functions as honest money, leaving those decisions up to the individual.

Agree

What Bitcoin sales?🤷

You still have to operate under the current system so, no. You do you.

Taxes are antihetical in any currency
