    Correct, plus they can proactively charge you with a project 10 years of future taxes as well in specific cases.

    Yes, we know libertarians have silly ideas and their own definition of things. Doesn’t alter reality. Nobody is taking about extortion. Taxes are not theft, an extortion or coercion.

    None of that was asked of you.
    Do you always answer questions that weren't asked?

    You don't seem to know the definition of "coercion", "lease" and and "eminent domain" but that's not stopping you.

    Yes, they keep asking me questions about it. But the issue is taxes, which are not extortion.

    No, I’m pointing out taxes are not extortion. So your continued questions about extortion, have no relevance.

    Huh? I pointed out taxes are not coercion. That you don’t own the land you are on, and educated you on eminant domain.

    Taxes are the taking of anothers property.
    And you propose a tax based system whereby some will be forced to pay more than others for the same product. Absolutely the taking of ones property and the giving it to another. Absolutely the topic.

    That's great! But I'm sure the IRS will be saddened by your proclamation.
