Chapter Chapter 4 in The Ethics of Tax Evasion, 2012, pp 73-82 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter argues, given that taxation is a form of extortion, that taxation is ethically justified to resist it in a variety of ways (all the while keeping due process in mind). Prominent objections are considered and rejected; an alternative to funding legal services is suggested.
