I've seen a few users fail to wrap their heads around a simple concept.
Taxation.
Like [i]all[/i] laws and public policies, taxes are enforced through violence. You [i]will[/i] pay them, or you will face consequences.
Anybody who tells you that taxation is voluntary or that taxation is not enforced by violence is deceiving you.
