But that’s not the situation at all. The rapist is getting raped and doesn’t get anything good or wanted in return. With taxes, you do get good things in return. And even if you don’t directly get them, other people do, and that’s so so good for you because we live in a society where we all benefit many order of magnitudes greater than what we could on our own because of the division of labor. That’s straight from the book Human Action by Austrian economist Ludwig Von Mises.

Also, the raped person doesn’t get to be involved with the process of creating the terms of the exchange. In a good healthy functioning state, that would be the case.

I really think you are misreading von Mises if you think he was talking about taxes being a benefit.

And that is *exactly* the case. I. Do. Not. Consent. Therefore, the action taken by anyone is immoral and should be preemptively stopped, struggled against, or violently opposed.

I DO NOT CONSENT TO HAVING MY EARNINGS GARNISHED. Nothing good comes of that.

Me thinks he is a troll at this point. No one can have that low of an IQ

I have a low IQ, but you are the one that can’t provide a coherent argument? I’ve countered every point you and everyone else have made.

If it were somehow possible (it’s not) to theoretically strip you of all the benefits that you gain from taxation, you would instantly consent. If all of the benefits that you gain from living in a society with division of labor could be taken away from you, you would instantly pay an arm and a leg (taxes) to gain access back to the system.
