Did you vote? You are represented. There is no taxation without representation. You are responsible to pay taxes.Except you don't. We elect those who make the tax laws, and if you don't like paying your taxes you're free to move out of yhe country.It's theft because we have almost no say (if any) in how it is spent. If we tried to not pay taxes they (Government) would use force and arrest/fine/imprison us for it. If you doubt this, stop paying all your taxes (if you pay any) and see how far you get.
I win.
That doesn't meet the definition of "consent." It defines an extortion racket, which is still theft.
I don't like my tax dollars to be spent bombing people half way around the world, but I am a responsible American citizen and as such I don't buy the whole anti-government Anarchist come Conservative ideology that falsely preaches taxation as a criminal racketeering conspiracy.
