Nothing should happen to your body without your consent.
Seems pretty straightforward. Yet our society is predicated on ignoring consent.
Recently we have heard all about famous and powerful people ignoring consent when it comes to sexual advances.
But consent is just as important when it comes to labor, for instance. Completely forced labor is slavery.
Taxes also amount to a less intense form of forced labor. Taxes forcibly take part of your money, earned through labor. Just because you get something in return doesn’t make it consensual. And if the government benefits were worth the price, why would they need to force us to pay, instead of simply offering us a product?
