"you had no option but to pay the government or risk being tortured"

Also known as just "following the law." You could also say you had no choice but to not rape someone or risk being tortured.

I don't understand your analogy. Are you trying to draw an equivalence between tax resistance and rape?

No, I am trying to say that the, "You have to pay tax or be tortured" is ridiculous. You're not going to be tortured at all. You're going to be penalized just like you would if you failed to follow any other law on the books.
