"?Christopher Wellman lays out a clear and concise comparison between taxation and theft, on pages 3 to 5 of Is There a Duty to Obey the Law?, which after the introductory paragraph on page 3, was a pleasant surprise. Evidently, though, he is 'not an anarchist', a decision he bases presumably on several 'plausible' premises which must obtain in order to justify the state, the crucial element of which is the consequentialist appeal: ?States can render their services without imposing unreasonable costs upon those they coerce.??"
