you eloquent arias seem to miss the basic point.
The purpose of taxation. The purThee of the state. Why do we agree to it?
Because we have all agreed to it, past and present. It is the contract we have put in place and accept as Americans if we call ourselves Americans. Furthermore, should you feel its dictates are unjustified it provides you righteous remedies. Should you determine these remedies beyond your ability to obtain and you cannot abide by its dictates then you have choices. You can deny dominion and place yourself outside its protections or leave. If you believe others have placed themselves beyond its dominion then it is your duty to defend its sanctity and forfeit your life if necessary to eradicate the offenders. If you attempt the later I would suggest you enlist the help of like minded individuals. Furthermore, should I agree with your assessment its doctrines have been irrevocably violated I would not only wish you success in your endeavors I would be compelled by my oath to the Constitution to aid you in its defense.
And you should feel blessed. The socialists of the former Soviet Union provided no such permission to leave. Still the case for China. Yet in America even if you decide you cannot abide by its doctrine the Constitution affords you inalienable rights until you depart. How is that for a gracious host?
