Excellent. Taxes are a universal concept. A necessary evil for the function of government collected from those benefiting from it. The people surrender a portion of there liberty in order to gain something off value. |

Yes. So you could cheerfully point out that your beliefs are universally repudiated. |

No. So you would cheerfully point out that taxation is universal and not at all considered slavery but rather a necessary component of civil society. Go ahead and argue about rates and what should be taxed. But arguing about whether it is slavery or not is stupid. |

Governments figured out that owning a person and keeping them on a plantation was inefficient. Productivity losses, rebellion, upkeep - instead let the person roam around an arbitrary plantation - think they are free and confiscate their productivity via taxation. |
