It’s great to criticize that, and you should, but it’s not a case against taxes. A government could collect taxes to build a standing army for the purposes of national defense and border protection to the benefit of all of the citizens of the nation, and could do so without committing war crimes. What would be the alternative method for raising a standing army?
