Quote by: Isherwood  Not against their will, but the services you mentioned are provided with the intent that citizens who need those services avail themselves of them. In some cases and in some communities, repayment is expected for welfare and, in a sense, public education. The public provides those services in hope that the whole society will benefit, prosper and improve. |
But taxes to provide those are taken from me against my will. I am a member of the "public" and I wasn't ever given the option of not providing for others. And, if I refuse, I could be imprisoned, or, at the very least, the property which I nominally own would be taken from me.
