When did France agree to you living there without paying taxes? I hope you saved the contract, because France tells me she didn't.

Since I live on tax payer money :-)

Ok, they give me some, and take some back, but I live net, partly, on the French (and partly on British, and German, and ...) taxpayer's hard-earned money :-)

Before, I produced wealth and earned money. But states took a big part of that away and I didn't want to be in slavery. Now, I'm on the other side of the fence, where I produce almost nothing (of any value on the market), and live good on other people's stolen production. I don't really think that is good, but it is better to steal, than to be stolen. Given that in a pseudo-communist system, it is one or the other, and there is no fair earning what you produce, it is better to be on the state's theft side. So that's what I do.

However, your point is a logical fallacy. You compared "paying taxes" to "paying rent when you live in a house". I pointed out to you where that comparison fails:
1) living in a house for rent is a mutual agreement, while paying taxes isn't.

Speaking about the US:

1) Forced taxation of its citizen is unconstitutional, i.e. in the US, it is illegal for the government to force its citizens to pay taxes just because they are in the US.

2) However, the law states that all citizens must file a tax return. It is illegal to not file a tax return, i.e. all citizens are forced to file a return.

3) In effect, failure to file is illegal (punished constitutionally) in order to in force taxation (unconstitutionally).
