When taxes are compared to Mafia, there is no point in discussions

  It's the actual definition of government, it does everything with the threat of violence. In the grand scheme of things, the social contract between members of society, some rights are given up to the state to be the intermediary. They enforce rules with threat of encarceration and are able to deal with problems via force (cops and military). So yes, taxes are collected just like the Mafiosi collect their debts.
