‘Legitimate taxation’ is a contradiction. I don’t care who was elected, ‘duly appointed,’ or what magic rituals or pieces of parchment someone has. What I acquire through voluntary exchange belongs to me, and if everyone else on the planet decides to take it, it’s still immoral and illegitimate. Personally, I’d rather have moral principles, and NOT advocate mass extortion, even if I ain’t gonna get far advocating actual freedom. — Larken Rose
