Fact #2: The original Constitution allowed slavery.
Fact #3: The original Constitution allowed taxation.
Fact #4: Some slave holders were taxed based on the number of slaves they owned. When doing their head count of slaves, did they include themselves and pay taxes on themselves?
Fact #5: Surely the guy with the sign thinks that slavery is bad (otherwise, he wouldn't equate it with 'forced' taxation). If a mega-corp uses tax evasions like 'overseas' home bases - thereby causing him to pay higher taxes - does that make him a slave to a bunch of tax-dodging corporations? Answer: yes. So Mr. Signcarrier - remember that it's OK for executives and shareholders of big corporations to bang your wife, since you and your head lady are their slaves.
Fact #6: These guys are true patriots.
I ask all patriots: Without taxation, how do you pay for all those wars that "patriots" love? Remind me to pass on your next bake sale.

One wonders of these guys were marching around with their "Forced Taxation" sign during the Bush years. I'd wager not.
Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. I believe in this whole-heartedly.
And I appreciate anyone who has the gumption to protest despite their handicapped abilities to articulate what they oppose. Their right, and ours, to a freedom of speech is something few in this world can savor. Another right we should not forget to savor, though, is the right to mock them.
Some of these signs have been floating around the internet for a while and could be called classics, others are new. They just needed to be collected in one place. Please enjoy, and share it with your friends.
