The Nature of Government: “If we want your money, we’ll take your money” and pretend it is a "voluntary contribution"

Excerpt:
"Tyranny begins with abuse of language. With evasive language.
Talk of “contributions” that you are forced to make; of being forced to “help.” The forced element never mentioned – but defining. You are not asked to “contribute” or to “help.” You are told you will – or else. But without actually saying so.
It is the language of the thug without the forthrightness of the thug. It renders a vile act – theft, coercion – something even more so, by veneering it with a chintzy patina of voluntaryism.
And now there is “guidance” – which of course you’re also forced to obey. As for example in the state of California, where the tyrannizers decreed they will force every child who is forced to attend a state school to wear a demoralizing Rag of Obedience or submit to being experimented upon by the pharmaceutical cartel that might as well be the state, since it essentially controls the state.
There will be no asking. Just telling. Without the forthrightness."

"Wear the rag of obedience".
Colorful and descriptive.
