i'm not trying to be dense but i really don't get the slave analogy.

now i do get the current u.s. government is acting in a perverted manor, as it has done before, favoring big business combined with a misguided idea of defense, consequently those roads, bridges, this&that, and security are suffering as a result. but there would be no road at all if there were no taxes.
you've got to wonder, no one wants to pay taxes...ok so no one pays taxes. how does anything get funded? how does society function?
