Hypocrisy of Teachers

[thesummerqueen]

That's... inaccurate. I think what you're trying to say is that the government collects taxes under the threat of force, though even that is somewhat melodramatic. I've paid taxes for quite a number of years now, and cannot recall a single incident where government agents grabbed me, beat me up, and took X percent of my wages for the week.

Using threats of violence to acquire resources is still using violence.

No one was threatening violence. Only jail time.
