Anyway, it takes money to have the roads, community water systems, street lights, fire depts, cops, defense, etc. How would this be paid for without taxes?

18th century Question: "How are we going to get the crops out of the field without slaves? Who will feed these slaves if not the Master?"
18th century libertarian answer: "It doesn't matter. Slavery is wrong. Free them all."
It doesn't matter how any of things get paid for or how they happen without taxes. What matters is the principle that taxes are wrong as slavery.
Burnsey, I don't mean to direct my next comment at you personally.
Because many people lack the capacity to imagine life without the violent extraction of resources from the unwilling does not make taxation morally correct, or mean that we should not resist it.
Once upon a time, people could not imagine how society and the market would function without slaves. However, slavery is immoral and ended regardless of people being able to concieve of all possible results of emacipation.
