Nick:
"Many" like who?  Do you now somebody?  And if the government knew I 
wasn't paying property taxes what would they do?  I'm not being physically 
coerced off my property to live by your murderous ways.  So you want to steal 
my property too?  Is that it?

Nick:
Nope.  I live here and trade with other people and the government steps in 
on what is a voluntary free market between reason people.  If we don't give up 
the loot, then the government bandits steal it.  I worked hard for this and the 
government initiates physical coercion to remove me from my land like another 
"Trail of Tears".  Yeah, the government never gets tired of the same old murderous 
tricks.  I choose to live life in a civil society freely interacting with others.  The government 
steps in and steals.  I didn't choose for the government to steal what is mine.  I would 
voluntarily pay for what I want, but the government steals it and makes all kinds of arbitrary 
decisions, most that I don't like.  I don't give up my morality for a believe in what is good.  
I bluntly talk about what IS good.
