Taxing districts must become voluntary

Tax payments are forced by penalty under laws. Incarceration, forfeiture of personal property, confiscation of private assets and liens. Present day government taxes and regulates light years beyond what King George ever thought possible. Tax on food, durable goods, telephone, cell phone, fuel, excise taxes, federal, state, county, city, government education and the list goes on. All in the name of services rendered, provided for the collective good.
