You're free to leave the United States. Staying implies consent. (-5)

Listen here, bud! If you don't like giving half of your income to Israel, then you can get out of America any time. (20)

Listen here, bud! If you don't like giving up your daughter for s*x work, then you can get out of my street any time. (-6)

If you want to earn your money in American dollars, then you are consenting to taxation.You can choose to leave and earn money in another country's currency, in which case you will consent to pay them taxes.Or you can choose to not earn any money, in which case you are opting out of taxation.Or you can choose to live your life through a barter system, only engaging in exchange through Craig's List swap ads, in which case you are also opting out of taxation. Taxes are simply the cost of using a stable form of currency for exchange. (-7)

Question. If Peasants were allowed to live and were provided shelter during the Middle Ages in exchange for labor. How much different is that from today when Homelessness is criminalized, and people are mostly only making enough to meet rent/bank payments and other bills that go with living as a human? Is Peasants refused work. They were kicked out of the shelter they had and were imprisoned or branded. The same thing happens today. The shape changed but the end result is the same. If you refuse work, you lose shelter. You then get "branded" with a bad credit score, and are sent to Prison "which is slavery". "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, ((except as a punishment for a crime)), where the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction"Things considered a crime......Sleeping or camping in public spacesEating in public spacesSitting in public spacesAsking for money or resources in public spacesLoiterin...

Governments mandate comes from the electorate. Therefore consent has infact been given unless you dont agree with democracy (1)

I don't agree with democracy. Other people don't get to make decisions for me, and I don't get to make decisions for other people.Even if somehow people did have the authority to make decisions for me, the majority have certainly not given consent for the government to do what it has done. If for example you can vote for a politician who will kill a million people in a war, or a different politician who will only kill 100,000, and you vote for the guy who will kill 100,000, that does not mean you consent to what that politician is going to do. It just means you have chosen the lessor of two evils upon being forced into a bad situation (1)

Not to be a peepee but having s*x with a consenting drunk person can be r*pe, people willingly sold themselves into slavery, and price gouging in emergency situations is robbery. If you don't want to pay taxes don't perform activities or own property that are taxed. If you decide to do those things then you are consenting to being taxed. (0)

Representation effectively is consent. You've voted for representatives who made tax laws, or been an idiot who didn't vote, and thereby consented to said laws.
