Isn't it the people insisting on taking a share who are the ones employing violence? If the people being asked to share say no then armed men show up.

I mean, no armed men come take your taxes (anymore). The threat is ultimately there if you withhold otherwise but it's the same if you smoke in a mcdondalds then refuse to leave. Or if you squat on someone else's land.

If you're sent to prison if you continue to not pay taxes, then yes, the system is still using force.
