And explain to me how private debt, and wealth, isn't also enforced by a threat of violence? Why I can't just walk into a store and take a car? Also a threat of violence. Why can't I just tell the bank to shove it when I've moved in? Threat of violence. When big business poisons a river, or puts forced arbitration clauses in their contracts, or mistreats their workers, more threats of violence should you try and seek redress.

You're a hypocrite, picking and choosing your argument to suit your position.

The same thing will happen to you if you don't pay your taxes or don't pay back your credit card debt.

And the extremely unlikely end result, jail, is exactly the same for both public and civil debt.

And that's the trouble with these stupid arguments. Not only are they childish extremes, anyone using them are all just massive hypocrites who want to pillage the commons for their own gain and have the rules always work in their favour, conveniently different when it comes to reining in monopolies, or using their excessive wealth to force others out of business, it all depends on which side they stand to gain most money out.

Then they just flip their argument on its head to justify their privileged position, which is maintained by a threat of violence.

Debt isn’t enforced by violence in the US. You can’t end up in jail for failing to pay credit card debt.

Setting aside that obvious gaff, you’re comparing individuals being prevented from stealing people’s property to the government being allowed to. It doesn’t really make any sense.
