Speaking of cop-outs. I didn't ask why force was wrong, I asked why a taxation law passed by a democratically elected body was wrong.
Force doesn't enter into it unless someone chooses to not pay, and then the same amount of force applies as if they choose not pay their plumber or something. It goes to the courts and if the IRS/plumber shows they are owed the money, the court allows them to seize property to collect. As in most court proceedings, you're free to show up and present your case as to why you shouldn't pay. The judge will listen, I promise.

Then it's a cop-out and you're a hypocrite to say you want the poor and needy to be taken care of but only when you're threatened with violence.
Please study reading. I was making the point that most people don't contribute to charity, and those that do often do it because of the tax write off.
Now, this is the real world and we are discussing possible real-world solutions to how to provide health care in the USA. A certain amount of taxation and government already exists, and the point of the discussion is how to proceed from there. I know you would rather argue whether taxation should be allowed at all, but that's a separate discussion and I think you'll find it in one of the numerous AC threads started by the other people who flunked politics 101.
