I think I disagree with you, but I admit that I'm having difficulty following your argument closely enough to be sure.
But let me put it this way: taxes are the price I pay to have roads and firefighters, mail delivery, schools, hospitals, police, armed forces that at least in principle are intended to preserve my country from invasion, and a social safety net that, if rickety, is at least a first step to keeping old people from starving in the streets and women from giving birth in ditches.
On balance, I like having all these things. If you don't like them, that is certainly your right, but I like them.
I know I can't have them unless they are paid for; nothing comes for free. Until we figure out how to grow money on trees, that requires taxes of some sort. Given all that, I don't actually care enough about the details to run around pestering people who should be using their time keeping the roads repaired and the garbage collected to show me the exact place in the exact law book where taxes and tax collection are set up.
I know I can't get something for nothing, and wouldn't consider it honorable or even clever on my part to try.

So, back to e-book readers. Can somebody refresh my memory as to whether the True will display pdfs and allow annotation and search? And will it be part of the EZ Reader or the Mentor line?
