@Saifedean Ammous: "Wouldn't you prefer a king and a 3% tax on tea, rather than a vote and a 70% tax on your income?" A Brit, to a group of Americans: "You Americans revolted over taxation without representation. How do you like taxation WITH representation now that you have it?"
> "The majority of people throughout history have accepted the idea that it was both proper and necessary for some men to coercively rule over others. Most of these people weren't basically bad, and probably only a few of them have had a lust for power. But they have held a terribly wrong idea which has caused them to support a social system that institutionalizes slavery and violence. It is this idea that it is proper and/or necessary for some men to coercively govern others, which is the idea of government-that has prevented the establishment of a laissez-faire society and which has been responsible for incalculable human suffering and waste in the form of political and religious persecutions, taxes, regulations, conscription, slavery, wars, despotisms, etc., etc." –Morris and Linda Tannehill, *The Market for Liberty*, (1970), p. 29.
