wow what an argument.
I'm paying taxes if I like it or not. I would like to see them spent on sensible stuff and not going to waste
"I'm paying taxes if I like it or not."
No — you're not compelled to pay. Compulsion requires jurisdiction, and jurisdiction requires a chain you haven't established:
Context → Capacity → Status → Choice of Law → Jurisdiction.
Being a private citizen working in the private sector is a PRI context. It's not a statutory office. It doesn't make you a taxpayerPUB. Citizenship and work are non-privileged descriptors — they never create an obligation on their own.
No connector. No consent. No capacity-creating act. No jurisdiction.
"Paying taxes" isn't proof of an obligation — it's just an act. It doesn't create a statutory office. It doesn't bind you. It doesn't make you a taxpayer.
The burden is on whoever asserts the obligation to show: a statutory office, a lawful connector, and a capacity-creating act. Not presumption. Evidence.
"If I like it or not" is a presumption dressed up as a fact. Jurisdiction doesn't attach to a bare assertion of will. It attaches only after every prerequisite is satisfied.
So the real question isn't whether you'll pay. It's whether jurisdiction over you has ever been established in the first place.
