First of all, we started this discussion about "force", not necessarily "deadly force". You escalated it on your own. Secondly, you have now finally admitted that gov't ultimately relies on the threat of the use of that force. Taxation is NOT voluntary. It is backed by threat of forcible jailing if the defaulter will not pay up. Or forcible seizure of property. The Revenuers will come and take that property and you had best let them or them will use necessary force to get it.
