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).

It is not a taxe that you don't have a choice of paying, it is a price for a service that you can choose not to use

Right. and let's break this down:
We are FORCED to pay a tax upon every transaction    -Nope
and they say Bitcoin doesn't have any taxes                -Nope, who said that?
Taxation is unconstitutional theft via armed extortion.  - lol Nope
it's unavoidable, and is without the armed extortion (YOU ARE FORCED TO PAY). -Nope
Well the "tax" that you are "forced" to pay (ex, the TX fees) is something that helps keep your money secure by giving the miners an incentive to continue to mine (and receive TX fees).

The overall "tax" that is paid on a per TX basis is very small and is often free if the circumstances warrant.
