If you don't pay your taxes and have any assets, will a court seize them if you refuse to pay? Sure. A private company can sue you if you don't pay for services and a court may also seize assets if you lose and refuse to pay. Do you own the assets?

Yes, obviously.

Hey guys, I found the anarchocapitalist.

    Which makes you a slave to the government by virtue of taxes.

    I’ll repeat it to the slow folks in the back. If the government can seize your property then you never owned it from the beginning.

    As I say to all anarcho-capitalists: If you want to live on the land and not use any infrastructure whatsoever, then be my guest, you wouldn't need to pay taxes if you don't have any income 👍

    Here's a great series by AdamSomething for why arachocapitalism is stupid: https://youtu.be/HTN64g9lA2g

    If you want to participate in society, taxes are the fees needed to keep it going. Funnily enough we live in a society with laws and concesequnces for breaking them.

    If you live in the US, it's understandable why taxes bother you because your infrastructure is crumbling, but that's because your voting system sucks and you keep electing shitty governments. Taxes themselves aren't to blame.
