the $75 should have been a mandatory tax.

I'm not savvy about laws. But I think it would be illegal to make it a mandatory tax.

All taxes are mandatory. I have to pay my state and local taxes as well as federal. I can't decide to opt out.

Not all taxes.  Some states and countries run on a subscription fee rather then a tax.  Like this fire department i'd guess.

you said i think making it mandatory  would be illegal and your question was answered by Kitler53. No it wouldn't it would just move from a user pays / fire insurance scheme or what ever the situation is to a  system where it comes out of your taxes either as a specific levy or from the broader town/ state budget,

No, I didn't?  I said not all taxes are mandatory... which they aren't... there are subscription taxes... like this one.

yes you did read it again "I'm not savvy about laws. But  i think it would be illegal to make it a mandatory tax"

plus Kilter 53 said just make it mandatory tax he didn't say all taxes where mandatory although the majority are
