..and what a bunch of wimps everyone else is..but then you cry about taxes and say they are "slavery" and are constantly talking about how the government is a bully and keeps you down.
What's the difference? Same mentality, different "wing".

No it is not.
Especially when government takes money from it's people and funds things in which government has no part or authority to perform.
That is the " slavery/ theft" part.
We understand taxes spent legitimately to exercise the responsibilities that the government has been charged with.

That same side is calling everybody wimps but they're armed to the teeth and feel that Armageddon is around the corner at every moment.

Correct, very little or no difference, they have much in common. Absolutist & extremist drama queens & impotent equal opportunity whiners.
No we dont. I dont mind paying taxes but I do complain about how the money is being used. I want it to be invested domestically to fund education, research & provide for veterans, the needy & homeless. I dont want it to be used to bring more mouths to feed when we can hardly take care of our own. So i am strictly against illegal immigration & refugee programs.
I think you are generalizing based on typical stereotypes. Taxes are necessary to run a smooth govt & country. We dont have oil like the saudis so everyone has to contribute. Our whole fight is about how our govt is investing our tax dollars. Europe doesn't have death penalty & as a result small time thieves are getting radicalized in prison (someone please start a thread about death penalty. I dont have much knowledge about it but I think its part of the problem in 'Eurabia').

If confiscation of 100% of the fruits of your labor is slavery at what % does it cease to be slavery?

Yep..I'm a big fan of the "horseshoe model". The two ends are super close together (even though they don't realize it). Us reasonable people in the middle are the ones silently suffering.

Got'cha!
I also tend to think of horses when I hear hoofbeats & not zebras. (so many different ways to apply Occam's razor)
