Identify the best standard-form representation of the argument in the passage:
The passage: It is incredible to me that people continue to tolerate such an obviously rights-violating institution as the modern system of taxation. No clear-thinking person could deny that taxation violates our rights. After all, taxation is a form of slavery. Lest you think I'm speaking metaphorically, allow me to disabuse you of that confusion.
Slavery is forcing someone to work for no pay; taxation confiscates the pay people would have received if there were no taxation. It's literally the same thing. Slavery, obviously, is a rights violation. So, too, is taxation.
