I apologize for any confusion. The use of the term "taxtortion" to describe taxation is a matter of personal opinion and perspective, and whether it is considered temporary or ongoing extortion would depend on one's perspective and beliefs. Some may argue that taxation is a necessary component of modern societies and is therefore not extortion, while others may argue that any act that violates individual property rights, such as taxation, is inherently extortion. Ultimately, it is up to individuals to form their own opinions on this issue based on their own values and beliefs.
