Any payment that is mandatory is definitionally extortion.
“Extortion is the act of obtaining money, property, or services from an individual or institution through coercion, threats, or intimidation.”
A contribution cannot be obligated.
“A contribution is something given or offered to help achieve a common goal or cause.“
Morality is subjective.
The Law is just a Mob that can hold power, If you had a choice you and every other individual would choose not to pay taxes up to and including your own detriment.
Not saying we would be better without law but I am saying Laws are just as immoral as any other system.
And all the good things we rely on in society don't work unless everybody pitches in. It's not "do I give you money Y/N", it's " do I give you money and get the benefits of living in society Y/N".
Or, as in some societies, only the bad parts, with the good parts forcibly stripped away.
Just remember every good thing you received from society was taken from someone else usually in the form of colonization and you are looking at it from the side of the taker not the taker.
