The Constitution makes it clear that the government's responsibility is to "establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare". How do you expect to accomplish these tasks without having some form of income (taxes) for the government to pay for them?
Local thugs might extort protection money from timid merchants, too. Does this make it right or acceptable somehow? It's coercion whether the government does it or Guido and his pals.

But to answer your question, I don't expect (or want) the government to "establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare". I don't want the government to exist at all.

I certainly never consented to being governed, and I'm not asking for anyone to supply me any of those expensive little perks my stolen tax dollars are supposed to buy for me.

I am an enemy of the state.
