> If you can never have a "moral basis" for compelling payment, than I'm curious how you think any contract law can work to secure payments? If 2 parties voluntarily agree to do something, and voluntarily agree to go into contract and by bound by such-and-such terms, there is no force or coercion. Did you sign a contract with the IRS or the government? No. Your bondage is assumed. I don't care how much effort the IRS take to be nice. If they are forcibly extracting wealth, this is always a wrong. You wouldn't initiate forcible extraction of wealth from another and call it right, would you?
