The government will argue that by not paying taxes you are receiving its benefits but not paying for it. People have to pay taxes, in order for society to function. Because you need funding for services, infrastructure, government programs, defense, schools, Emergency services etc..It's inconsistent in my eyes because both are examples of government taking your lawful property just because they say so.
If you believe taxes are illegal then that is a different argument, and a moot point in the context of this thread because when the government decides to confiscate your property for not paying taxes they have to Prove you didn't pay it. In CAF they do not have to prove anything.
