I'm talking about the reality of what citizenship entails. No, I never put pen to paper, but by living in this country and enjoying the benefits of government services, I am required to pay taxes. It no more or less coercive than any other arrangement of good or services for currency.
And you most certainly can opt out. You can leave. You move to another country, get a job, and become a citizen there. If you were unsatisfied with a rental agreement, you'd need to leave in order to "opt out".
