“To fully grasp the scope of how governments extract wealth through “legal” means, it is essential to examine the myriad of taxes imposed at federal and state levels. Each tax, whether income, sales, property, or excise, represents a forced payment that citizens are compelled to make under threat of penalties or imprisonment. This system effectively seizes a portion of an individual's earnings, labor, and assets without direct informed consent, aligning taxation with theft than with a fair exchange service fee.” — Jeffrey Hann
