Atheists; what do you base your morals on?

In what sense is the tax code "true".

In the sense that that is the principle behind it.

You are talking about the state like it is a religious belief.

Don't be ridiculous.

You support this by citing a definition from a law code as if that defends the view of law.

No, citing the definition only shows what the law is. It neither defends nor opposes it.

Don't you realize you aren't making an argument?

I do. I'm not making an argument. Simply stating the facts.

The tax code could be set up any number of ways, as the education system.

And I'm simply telling you the way it is set up.

Why would you cite the present system to prove your value system (which is that you want an authoritarian state forcing people to get an education from them)? The law dictionary does not demonstrate this.

That's nowhere close to what I'm trying to prove. All I'm showing you is that you are wrong to assume that paying taxes gives you any voice with regards to how they are spent.
