Thank you for a thought-provoking comment. Do you think that refusing to pay one's taxes, and thereby ultimately going to jail, is the best way to make a principled stand against the idea that taxation is theft? As I understand it, in any specific context there are many principles to be considered in making a decision as to how to act. For example, "Strive to act rationally" is an important principle for me. I try to act based on reason and evidence, to the best of my ability to do so. Would you consider someone who chose to make a headlong rush at the IRS and their most sacred rule as acting rationally? I would say such a person was tilting at windmills. I think there are more effective ways for me to work for virtue and justice in the world. In other words, I don't see being principled as necessarily requiring martyrdom.
