[MD] Coerce me? How?

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Nick]
"Many" like who?  Do you now somebody?

[Arlo]
I tried now-ing someone once, really pissed 'em off. But hell, just 
walking around NYC will get you in contact with many, many people who 
don't pay taxes, and no one is coming after them. They live off the 
grid (or on it, I suppose). There is plenty of forest land you could 
live it, "the man" might chase you down if you make you camp near 
those commie parks, but you could pull it off. Canada is even better, 
mucho square miles of unregulated, uncontrolled, wide open land. Knit 
yourself a tent, barter for some seeds. You'll never pay taxes again, 
and I guaran-double-dog-tee that no tax-police will ever come looking for you.

[Nick]
And if the government knew I wasn't paying property taxes what would they do?

[Arlo]
Property taxes are part of the game. No one is forcing you to own 
land, Nick. Sell it. No more property tax. Poof! Just like that.

[Nick]
So you want to steal my property too?  Is that it?

[Arlo]
I am really starting to think you suffer from clinical paranoia. 
Honestly. It's pretty bad.

[Nick]
I live here and trade with other people and the government 
steps in on what is a voluntary free market between reason people

[Arlo]
Psh. Lots of under the table stuff happens every day. I'm sure you 
could find people to barter your goods with. Now if you use currency, 
well, that's another part of the wonderful infrastructure civil 
governance supports, so sure you'll have to pay taxes on those 
transactions. But if you went into your local shops I am sure you 
could eventually find someone who will trade you a tube of toothpaste 
for a bushel of apples you've grown. Even better, find some hippy who 
makes homemade hemp-paste, there are plenty of self-sufficient 
communes around.

[Nick]
I worked hard for this and the government initiates physical coercion 
to remove me from my land like another "Trail of Tears".

[Arlo]
Right. That's a good analogy. *Rolls eyes.

Hey, why don't you go move in with your brothers from the Trail of 
Tears? There must be a reservation somewhere that would take you in. 
And guess what? No more taxes!!!
