So whether the government is robbing you depends on whether they have a legal claim on the money they are taking. Simply taking it by force is not enough.
I don't expect you to agree with me now, but is it any clearer where I am coming from?
Yes, that makes some sense. "Government" (essentially a powerful armed monopoly) declares forcible expropriation of personal property legal and then its representatives often attempt to carry that out in practice, but the action is still what the
common law would refer to as robbery (or robbery with violence).
From a personal perspective, the more of that expropriated property that is misappropriated by government for all kinds of corrupt and inappropriate purposes, the closer I am drawn to pure-anarchist thinking. Years ago, I would never have imagined considering anarchy potentially a
good thing.
