Probably not quite the same point - I think there's clearly some difference between paying for my meal and paying taxes, but I also think there's clearly some difference between paying taxes and paying a mugger (especially in a well-functioning society).
I just don't think the first difference is well expressed by pointing out that force is eventually involved.
- lugg 10y agoThat would entirely depend on how you feel about taxes and how you're government uses them. As someone who's experienced both a muggings and police brutality I'm not really going to see much of a difference.
