If you try to withhold payment of taxes, I suspect you will feel a the force of the law.
"There is no right to leave."
Can I stop paying tax without a negative effect?
--
I am not free if I am forced to pay 100% of my income - that is slavery by your definition.
But if I pay 90%, am I free now? What about 40% - is that the 'freedom percentage'?
Please let me know what amount of income a free man should hand over under threat of force if they do not consent willingly.
