"In which nation is paying taxes voluntary?" Obedience to the law is always voluntary. Consequences of disobedience are imposed by the justice system. The use of force by Government is intended to further the goals of human rights and freedoms. These goals and the means of justice flowed from agreement made between the representatives of the citizens of these certain United States. Here are the States and here are the signers of the agreement: colonialhall.com Here is the beginning of the agreement: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Notice, it does not say anything about using coercion or force in order to despise human liberty and fundamental justice. Do you believe the Government has become corrupt over the years? Then it must be in violation of the Constitution, one would think.
