Way to miss the point

You don’t HAVE to buy that product

Lets say a DVD. If you don’t buy it, the gov’t says you have to pay the tax anyway. You okay with that? After all, the tax money will go to improve the road the DVD traveled on to get to the store you decided not to buy it from,,AND ,, if you decide NOT to pay the tax on the DVD you decided NOT to buy, you’re fined and / or sent to jail

yeah, but it’s not just DVDs. it’s everything. You pay the tax because that’s how this works, that’s how you have efficiency. You cannot in any practicality “opt out” of health care entirely. If you have a compound fracture or gastritis, your butt will still end up in the ER.

Childless couple still pay for schools with their taxes, after all.
