Best Answer

Taxation

Inflict cruel and unusual punishment

Legalized theft

Coercion

Confiscation

Confiscation "effectively" without representation All of the above are true to at least some degree, and some are mostly true all of the time. Feel free to take your pick. If you disagree, then ask yourself the following: "When was the last time I wrote to my "elected representatives", and asked them to impose an additional, involuntary tax on my assets, my spending or on my income?" Look up the meaning of the word "impose", and realize that polite company will refrain from doing this. -- ANSWER--

A tax is "levied".
