There were some people who tried building a governmental body without taxes. They failed so spectacularly that they had to throw it away and start over. And their most agreed upon takeaway was that taxes were inevitable. They then created such a successful state apparatus that generations later they were essentially worshiped as deities, even by the classes who were not represented by the state. Nowadays, the state civil religion refers to them as The Founding Fathers.

A body without taxes is like an ancap reading of deleuze right?
