Taxes being compulsory are whats wrong. You'll happily pay for a needed service that provides a net benefit. You'll happily stop paying for a service that only rips you off. Taxes being compulsory allows fraud and inefficient use of funds under threat of state-sanctioned violence.

Ludwig Von Mises himself, in his book Human Action, is quoted as saying that we all benefit from the division of labor that is brought about by, and only possible because of, collective society. Seeing as we all benefit from the division of labor collectively, what value are you willing to pay in exchange for having access to this society from which we all benefit? Certainly you are willing to pay something in exchange for this service? We call that taxes. The question is how much, not if.
