I live in the U.S. Even if I leave, if I stop using any of its infrastructure for the rest of my life, I'm expected to pay U.S. income taxes on my income. (Some, but not all, can be excluded.) I genuinely can't get away from it. And even if I could, you say that like there's some other place to go that doesn't impose its own taxes. Just because every government has agreed they should ALL have the rights to take money from people who happened to be born there, it doesn't make it somehow not force. Even if there is not a single thing I think government is uniquely qualified to do that could not be done better by private industry, government is still going to take money from me to do it its way rather than letting me come up with other ways to meet my needs, again, all based on the accident of where I was born. It seems disingenuous to me to look at that reality and call it anything other than force.
