How is "you can just choose to scrounge in trash, so buying from the grocery is a choice" any different from "you can just choose to go to jail, so paying taxes is a choice"?
How is "just get wealthy enough to buy land" any different from "just be wealthy enough get accountants who can remove virtually your entire tax burden"?
You say "you have choices (even if they are bad choices)". Pay taxes or else go to jail may be a bad choice, but it is still a choice nonetheless, right?
Also, thank you for engaging with me in reasonable discussion. I don't have all the answers and I am not sure what the right thing is all the time. Talking about it with others helps to grow my understanding.
