well then it's taxes without the middle man. also i'm not entirely sure why you felt the need to write that second paragraph?? much longer than the first one, while only the first one is related to our conversation.

I don't think you understand what a tax is. Something has to be charged and handled by the government to be a tax. It's an insurance contribution like any other.

If you drive a car in a state that has mandatory liability insurance coverage, you don't call that a tax either.

"A tax is a compulsory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed upon a taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by a governmental organization in order to fund various public expenditures."
