Peter writes:
If you can’t tell the difference between voluntary and coerced, you have a serious problem. I can quit the church, or a club, and stop contributing. I can’t do that with the state. That means the former is voluntary, the latter is coerced.
I comment:
No, you are wrong. You could emmigrate to a state where conditions are more to your liking. You could move. People do it all the time, I hear. Nothing forces us to continue as citizens of the United States. But so long as we are citizens, we are obligated to obey its laws and we owe it our proper loyalty.
