>So you can see the difference. Taxation is part of the social compact. Break the social compact and now you may face confiscation - and not just for evading taxes, either. Viola, a key difference.
You're right....not just for evading taxes. For holding specific beliefs as well. Just ask Z-Street and the news that came out today in the Wall Street Journal.
Bottom line- any agency involved in the confiscation of property (like tax collecting) is ultimately going to be used as a political weapon.
