Other people have other ideas about what the role of government should
be in people's lives. I just don't want government to be able to force
people to give it money.

Then it woun't collect 'any' money.


It was collected before income tax as per the Constitution, through fees
and tariffs.



You said "I just don't want government to be able to force
people to give it money".

I took that to mean ALL taxes, fees, tariffs, whatever, not just income
taxes.


What exactly is the difference between "fees and tariffs"
and taxes? Tariffs are, in fact, taxes. And in any case, all
of them are confiscatory if government can compel citizens
to pay them.
