>Without collective enforcement of monetary value, currency is useless

Absolute totalitarian drivel. Currency, like economics in general, is an emergent phenomenon, and does not require any form of enforcement.

>Your wealth would not exist without society. Taxes are not a matter of taking _back_, they are fees for services rendered for that collective enforcement.

Also nonsense. Again, wealth is an emergent phenomenon, arising from scarcity. More importantly, since these collective behaviors are emergent, I do not necessarily need to be involuntarily forced to pay for them.

And, for the record, paying fees following services is literally "taking back." Don't sugar coat taxation.
