Taxes, “Pacifists”, Hypocrisy

So, most of the self-proclaimed pacifists I know are in favor taxes on people for the purpose of “sharing the wealth”. For them, I have this:
Since taxes are obviously not a matter of choice, they need to be enforced through violence. Since you are voting for those who would impose taxes, are you not essentially endorsing violence? How does that square with your “pacifism”? Our government is only a construct to represent the will of the people, and your vote expresses a violent will!
Now, I know that they will seek to skirt the issue.

“pacifist”: Well… the rich STEAL! Something must be done to punish them!.
me: I doubt that. Most of them got there doing business, which requires them to be fairly trustworthy.
“pacifist”: What about that Enron dude? Hah! Gotcha!
me: …What?… Saying that taxation is good because it punishes a handful of cheaters is like saying that detonating a tactical nuke in New York City is good because it kills a pickpocket.

If I am lucky, this will cause some real thinking to start occurring. I do not expect to have any luck.

Speech I Intend to Give

I intend to give this at the beginning of the spring trimester, in my AP US History class, in response to things my teacher has said, and to what my classmates have said.

“I intend to expose the flaw in your theory of pragmatic, or non-ideological, politics.
Idealogy is used to make ideas that are logically consistent. Your ideology of pragmatic politics is the ideology of inconstancy. You will find that the policies you implement to solve the problems you see will lead to further problems, that will require more policies. As the government balloons in size to manage the horrid tangle of legislation, regulation, and social reform programs, it will further intrude into the lives and liberties of every citizen. The economic regulations you so enthusiastically call for only blur the lines between government and business. Monopolies will exist in every part of the market, and they will be in perfect harmony with the government.
Well, welcome to fascism! Welcome to Mussolini’s corporatism! Welcome to totalitarianism! You have asked for the god-state, and you have received! And it all came from the non-ideological desire to reform society and the pragmatic search for a third way between capitalism and socialism! Well, here it is!
Thank you for listening.”

What do you think? Anything I should do to make it clearer? Anyone?
