What constitutes consent to be governed is still debated. Although, the fact there exists practically no unclaimed habitable territory left on earth. In theory means someone no longer can choose not to be governed. So in some sense it can be argued that people can't fully consent any more.
Although, you could still choose a different government by moving so not all choice is removed. However, you have odd things like the US taxing based off citizenship instead of location. Although the US is one of the few countries that will let you relinquish your citizenship and even become stateless (bad idea don't become stateless).
Also if you purchase land in the US your not getting allodial title. Also I doubt any state or country today would let you get a complete allodial title, it would probably be limited in some form.
The bigger problem here though is it really just to seize all value of property for failing their obligations by 8 dollars. I would argue that is clearly unjust considering the scale of things.
