“Governments are tax farms that manage human livestock.”
On a farm, can the livestock vote for new farmers? Can they negotiate with the farmer for different terms of their exchange? Can the livestock overthrow the farmer if they get up fed up with the farm? I don’t think this analogy holds water.
The rest of what you said is not an argument against taxes.
