None of what you just said is an argument against taxes. It’s all critiques of the government, how big it is, and what it’s doing. And that’s all valid. And, as a minarchist, I probably agree with you on a ton of that stuff. But you can critique all of that and still argue in favor of taxes.

Can you explain to me how taxation isn't coerced? Specifically in my case, where I do so not wish to pay taxes?

Also: why coercively tax people? There are other ways to find things that don't require coercion. There was no income tax in the US until the Civil War, then it was repealed until 1913.

I have never once agreed to any of this. Don't you dare claim that by participating in giving my permission. You don't ask the rape victim the same question because that's disgusting. Taxation is just as disgusting to me.

I feel like I have provided plenty of arguments against these points, but let’s try it a different way.

Can you name for me a good or service that are you are willing to pay for?

No, you have not. You haven't addressed the moral implication of the state and taxes. You still wish to put a gun to my head to ensure that you get what you think is right and proper, and that cannot be either.

Food, at least until I have my own land and can produce most of my own.
