don't know, but it sounds anarchist to me. One does not need to be anarchist to be anti-statist.

You did not say you were for limited gov't you said that you did not like any gov't.

That is not being anti-statist, but an anarchist.

I dislike taxes and I will suppose for the moment that so do you, do you not? Yet, for the moment, I also pay my taxes even though I dislike them and do so for pragmatic reasons. I'll suppose you do the same.

Now, tell me - does that act of paying taxes suddenly transform either of us into lovers of taxes who voluntarily throw wads of cash at Uncle Sam every time he comes begging for more? Of course not. Simply tolerating taxes and thus paying them in no reasonable way contradicts the fact that I also dislike them. The same goes for the government.
