Legitimacy of Taxation
A philosophical examination of whether any body -- past or present -- holds genuine moral authority to compel taxation, and what the individual's rational response to that question should be.
Where This Idea Comes From
The closing argument of "No Representation, No Guns," which pushes past the Founders' own procedural objection (the wrong body was taxing them) to a more absolute claim: no body, representative or not, holds a self-evident moral authority to compel taxation in the first place.
