I have friends who are against war and psychiatric abuses and other evil things enabled by governments. I have had discussions wherein I am told that we pay taxes because we agree to pay taxes. There is often more truth to that than the speaker is aware of. I found this out when I asked if they agreed to finance wars and such with their "contributions". They all said they didn't.

I have also seen great anti war demonstrations where placards proclaim "Not in my name" as if this is somehow an important negative for the state.

I posit that we pay taxes because the alternative of being threatened with violence and going to jail is less preferable than paying up. I'm sure the victims of war and psychiatric abuse understand this.
