 Can you explain to me how taxation isn't coerced? Specifically in my case, where I do so not wish to pay taxes? 

Also: why coercively tax people? There are other ways to find things that don't require coercion. There was no income tax in the US until the Civil War, then it was repealed until 1913. 

I have never once agreed to any of this. Don't you dare claim that by participating in giving my permission. You don't ask the rape victim the same question because that's disgusting. Taxation is just as disgusting to me.
