I personally find it offensive to have taxpayers compared to slaves and welfare and entitlement recipients compared to slaveowners. Most people on welfare want to work, want to get off of welfare. And comparing taxpayers to slaves? Really???
Lets see, if someone should refuse to pay taxes then people with guns show up and take what they want. In effect by taking the earnings and property of another then the taxpayer in question is working for someone they would rather not. If the slave does not work then he is subject violence. Its a little more roundabout being one of the tax livestock but the results are much the same which is some form of involuntary servitude.
