Primus again reveals that which we already know, taxes came after citizens already owned the land. Caesar desires that transactions completely separate from government be taxed. I have a chicken and you want chicken soup. Government wants a piece of our private transaction. If we both refuse pay tribute Primus may be tasked to employ violent physical force for the state to gain its tribute. He is OK with that, being a cop and all.So Rosa Parks should just have gotten off the bus?
The state was instituted to protect private property and individual rights not rape them.
Also, if I tried to leave the country without the state giving me permission I would be subject to violent physical force. Crossing the border into Canada or Mexico is against the law, not to mention what Canada and Mexico would do to me once they knew of my illegal border crossing.
Primus ignores the fact that the state compels us to stay, to pay our fair share, or that we must pay to leave. Either way we must pay the state for the privilege to stay or go.
