When the banana production facility is predicated on the collective effort and value that all of the monkeys provide, then refusing to pay taxes is tantamount to sealing from the society. Since the society provides for the common good, including the production of bananas, it follows that the individuals must honor and provide for that social function--which in the end serves _them_.

I appreciate your POV, but why is this monkey not able to produce his own bananas from the trees and the soil?

Okay, so the monkey produces all he needs for himself. And all he ever needed? That would be 10k bananas for previous monkey education. Monkey may pay them over time.

Why is the monkey being forced to pay for services already rendered to him that were paid for by taxes? Is there a budget shortfall somewhere?

This is like saying I need to pay Oracle $10,000 for all those years that my drivers license info sat on an Oracle database :)
