not to use gas. One could use an entirely electric car and avoid the
tax all together. Therefore it's not force because someone has made a
CHOICE to use gas, and therefore agrees to pay the fee (aka tax)
associated with it. If they choose not to pay it, they can CHOOSE to
use an electric car or another conveyance.
A right can not be taxed, but a privilege can be. For instance the
PRIVILEGE of bringing goods across national borders. This is not a
right and has nothing to do with the right of property ownership. It
is a PRIVILEGE offered by governments for a fee.
If you make a choice to bring those goods across national borders,
you're CHOOSING to pay the fee associated with them. If you try to
bring your goods across without paying, you're committing an act of
aggression in the form of trespass and theft.
Illigitimate taxes would include a breathing tax, an eating tax, an
income tax, or a sleeping tax.
