No. It is perfectly worded. > I don't support the initiation of force to mandate a buyer or seller to pay > the > government a tax on the sale of those goods.

If you are neither you are uninvolved and consequently you are NOT entitled to anything from it. Where you have no interest, you have no ownership. Where you have no ownership, there is no trespass against you. You keep claiming some sort of ownership of MY market. I and my buyers have created this market. You were uninvolved. This market is a private transaction between my buyers and myself. We created this market out of nothing and when our transactions are finished it will go back to nothing. What is your basis for claiming ownership in what I and my buyers have created without you being involved. > Your consistent attempts to justify your desire to initiate force > against other Americans is wholly unlibertarian. How is engaging in peaceful commercial transactions in which you have no stake in or involvement in an initiation of force against you?
