I discovered that taxation of all forms in America is unconstitutional and criminal extortion so I haven't paid them for 30 years. I explained how I did this in my latest Westley's Newsletter on Substack. Governments themselves have only been in existence for a few thousand years. Prior to that,man lived for millions of years without taxes and regulations, surviving, thriving and spreading out all over the world, mostly in peace and harmony by production and trade of values. Each human comes with a built-in government, one's own mind, at birth and it is perfectly capable of governing that human's life - far better than other people doing it by force in accordance with the universal natural law by means of which every innocent person has always attempted to live. It is a combination of common sense and Te Golden Rule and applies to everyone but no criminal has ever obeyed it, particularly the criminals who make up all governments,
Here is how I articulated it, adopted it as the sole law governing my life and recommend it for everyone to adopt for themselves. "One's life is one's responsibility in its entirety. Any innocent act one can take in the pursuit of one's happiness is one's absolute inalienable natural human right. These include the five rights of property of INNOCENTLY acquiring, possessing, using, defending and disposing of any conceivable item of property except another human being. 'Innocent' means not harmful to others except in defense. A crime is any act of harm by force or fraud by anyone against the innocent or their property. It is the responsibility of the criminal to make his or her victim(s) whole again, to the extent possible, by a process of restitution."
That universal natural law can be incorporated into one's insurance policies for enforcement. It would be a simple process in an entrecom. Payment for it would be by voluntary contracts and would vary person to person depending on what they wanted protected.
Governments are force. Force is only legitimate in defense against rights violators.It has nothing to do with education, healthcare, money supply, 'foreign policy', or anything else that is the responsibility of the individualn
Madison wrote the 9th Amendment as follows: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Nobody could figure out what those 'others retained by the people', including property rights, were so the 9th went largely unadjudicated for centuries. But he wrote the 1st as follows: "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of religion, speech, the press, etc" all of which were innocent acts. That should have been enough to let any competent lawyer know that rights were any innocent act s one can perform in the pursuit of their happiness. That should have led them to the same conclusion as I arrived at and rewrote the 9th as follows:"Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of individuals to take any innocent acts they choose in the pursuit of their happiness. These include the five rights of property of INNOCENTLY acquiring, possessing, using, defending and disposing of any conceivable item of property except another human being." That eliminates all taxes and regulations so I haven't submitted to them in 30 years.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Taxation is certainly a violation of property rights.
