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.

Fees for service are not force. You get a direct benefit for the expense.
It's income taxes and property taxes and sales taxes that I object to the
most.
They simply decree you must pay for things you may never get.
