Yes. I’m for real. I didn’t say the Wisconsin Use Tax itself is moral. I think use taxes are very bad law, because they aren’t enforceable, penalize those who comply because they believe in following the law (or fear getting caught), and reward those who choose not to pay and aren’t held to account for it.
As far as complying with the law, I give unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s. In other words, I comply with use taxes even though I don’t agree with them, probably wouldn’t get caught if I ignored them, and would certainly vote to eliminate them.
Well, I pay my taxes, too. but only because I feel no need to go to prison. As for what is Caesar's, as I have often said before, he and I have serious disagreements about what that is.

I agree with you. I hate taxes and do everything *legal* within my power to avoid them.
Nevertheless, I pay what I owe.
There is an eternal reward for doing that which is lawful and righteous.
