We are FORCED to pay a tax upon every transaction, and they say Bitcoin doesn't have any taxes? That's just pure crap. Taxation is unconstitutional theft via armed extortion. In Bitcoin's case, it's unavoidable, and is without the armed extortion (YOU ARE FORCED TO PAY).
No problem, and there's no coercion involved. People who will perform the service of mining for you will do so for a fee. However, you are free to perform the service of mining yourself if you don't want to pay that fee. Or you are free to not use Bitcoin. You could even run your own alternative blockchain if you wanted, with your own rules.
The sky's the limit! Thank Satoshi and many others for providing all of this for you for free!
