Actually, his article is arguing for zero taxes. He says that all redistribution through governmental coercion is morally the equivalent of slavery. He makes no distinction or allowance for taxes for one versus another. His argument is in blak or white and holds together with all the logical force of a five-year old.

Sorry, this was in part II, which I didn't post:
Several letters of disagreement interpreted my argument as being against taxation. They used the sleight-of-hand approach saying that we need taxation for national defense, the courts and other constitutionally authorized purposes as if that observation meant that taxation for any other purpose was just as legitimate. Let me be explicit. Taxes to finance certain federal activities are indeed legitimate as well as constitutional.
