My little Merriam Webster dictionary seems to back you up:

tax n 1 : a charge usu. of money imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes 2 : a heavy charge : strain

Anyway, At the rate we're taxed today, I would count any mechanism that transfers more wealth from individuals to the State as destructive what ever you call it.

Would you count the cost of complying with regulations as a tax? I would.

The difference between taxation and lotteries is that if you do not pay taxes, you can go to jail; that will not happen if you do not buy lottery tickets.
