Every year around this time, millions of Americans fill out a form 1040 – hoping they don't have to write a check to Uncle Sam.

Ownership is a concept extrapolated from the observation that people naturally have possession and control of their body, and it primarily defines the appropriate role of coercion and voluntarism, specifically that it is appropriate to transfer resources voluntarily and inappropriate to transfer resources with coercion.
