Again, the argument is:
self ownership property rights non-aggression principle
where does it say "no taxes"? nowhere. where does it say "no government" or even "small government"? nowhere. You can have all those things without violence. Once again, if you want to make the argument that violence is NECESSARY for any of these things, then make that argument.
Nowhere in the philosophy does it say "no police force" or "no national defense", in fact, I've stated a few times that self defense is seen as morally right.
If you ever stop assuming things, stop harping your party line, stop just blindly believing everything on CNN and start using the ~3 lbs of meat between your ears, you might be an interesting person to talk to.

Now you are arguing with your own prior statements. I didn't make that quote you did. No wonder it's hard for me to get a word in edgewise.
Do yourself a favor and come back when you know what it is you are trying to defend. Here's a hint ask yourself just why that picture obviously bothers you so much.

I'm not arguing with my previous statement. I don't have the right to levy a taxagainst anyone else and threw them in the cage if they don't pay me. That is the non-aggression principle.
I can ask for money, but that doesn't mean anybody has to pay me. And if I use Force against them that is immoral.
