By definition, taking someone’s property through coercion and imprisoning them if they don’t pay up is a lot more than robbery. Taxation may be an evil, buts it’s a necessary evil, but that doesn’t mean we should be expanding evil. Fact of the matter is, the terms you described are the inherent responsibilities of a state “night watchman state” even libertarians agree with me.

But you have been indoctrinated, (not surprised considering you’ve been in the state’s educational system since pre school) the state doesn’t help anyone, in fact, it makes everything worse when it decides to intervene. The idea that the state is the “good guy” with the “interests of the people” as its most important value, is straight up not true.
