Well, that's the deal when we buy a house; some of our property taxes go to the schools. In return, the fact that we are in a VERY good school district has benefits for our property values.
Why do I put up with "confiscation"? It's the law where I live, and tax protesters have a way of living in drafty jail cells rather than comfortable houses like mine. What do you suggest I do, simply refuse to pay the $4500 a year? My freedom is worth rather more than that to me.
Yes, it's the law, but I'm not going to just roll over and take it. Laws can be changed. (And I agree, tax protesters are fighting a losing battle on a dirty, unwinnable playing field.)

That's the beginning of the solution. It abolishes all federal taxes and replaces them with a retail sales tax. Changes the whole game, and changes the psychology of the dependency class.
