The question sneakily suggests that income tax is just theft, and therefore just modernised slavery.
Sorry. I'll just come out and say it, then: Taxation
is theft. And slavery.
And if the "social safety net" is what causes the low crime rate in rural communities, why is crime so prevalent in inner city areas, where that selfsame social safety net is most utilized? How, exactly, do welfare and housing projects prevent crime in a farming community that has few recipients of the former, and none of the latter?
Slavery is when you can't leave and you never agreed to stay. You are free to leave the US or wherever you are whenever you want. Your position is like the hippies who demand to be allowed to live in someone else's house without paying.
No, more like the renter who'd like to stop paying for the other tenants...across the city.
