No, unless it is a tax on breathing air. A tax on let's say oil removed
from common property is a fee you pay to the gouvernment because you
want that oil. Nothing forced, your choice to want that oil. And it is
not yours to get for free, because it is mine too. When you want it,
you'll have to (VOLUNTARILY) agree with me, and I have mandated the
gouvernment to do that negotiation for me.
