Hmmmm

Here is definition #1 of 'tax' from dictionary.com:

Quote:
Quote by: dictionary.com
A contribution for the support of a government required of persons, groups, or businesses within the domain of that government.
It would appear that force is, indeed, implicit in taxation.


So, OK - the phrase voluntary taxation would have to mean something else...

How about this - can a government function through a combination of earned income, and voluntary contributions?


Do all things with love.
