    Any payment that is mandatory is definitionally extortion.

    “Extortion is the act of obtaining money, property, or services from an individual or institution through coercion, threats, or intimidation.”

    A contribution cannot be obligated.

    “A contribution is something given or offered to help achieve a common goal or cause.“

    Morality is subjective.

    The Law is just a Mob that can hold power, If you had a choice you and every other individual would choose not to pay taxes up to and including your own detriment.

    Not saying we would be better without law but I am saying Laws are just as immoral as any other system.

      And all the good things we rely on in society don’t work unless everybody pitches in. It’s not “do I give you money Y/N”, it’s " do I give you money and get the benefits of living in society Y/N".

      Or, as in some societies, only the bad parts, with the good parts forcibly stripped away.
