Tax pays for law enforcement. Tax pays for the roads leading to your 
house. Tax pays for keeping your water clean and your air breatheable, 
against the depredations of corporations who would happily pass on such 
costs as an “externality”.

Imagine if you had to pay a toll just to take your car out of your 
driveway. Or pop a coin in the meter every time you turned on your water 
tap, or took a breath.
