Taxes are meant to be TAKEN from the community and they're taken by force or the threat of force/incarceration/ruination/confiscation. It's protection money. Local currencies will be allowed to flourish as long as they don't keep so much value within the community that they become competition. I think Amy is trying to create a firewall between participants in the local currency movement and activists in the local currency movement. Every issue needs activists but sometimes you have to fly under the radar. You’re correct but you’ve answered your own question.
