That is a very loose definition of slavery. A true slave might find it a sort of ridiculous idea that you consider yourself a slave just because you pay taxes, considering the amount of freedom and opportunity you have and the fact that you even have money to tax.

I don't really believe the government rejoices in their ability to tax, and I don't think they consider your money to be all theirs. All governments have expenses and need to impose some form of taxes --- it's another thing you can compare to history and to other places around the world. You do have a say in how your tax money is spent --- you don't get to draw up the budget yourself, but you do elect your representatives. If you don't like what they are doing, you can work to change your representative. That's one thing you can do that a slave cannot.

Our Government has become too big and we are supporting their growth. I say cut the spending, and the lies and give the country back to the people who make it what it is today.
Now you are into a policy debate. Slaves do not get to debate policy. If you do not like the policies of your government and how they spend money, you need to elect a different representative.

If you really believe you are some kind of slave in this society, then you have enslaved yourself with your victim mentailty.
