Vixell is saying the only things that we should do are those for which we can get n must consent. But some one, and we'll call that person the jerk, might say it's worth enough to them to pay into this damn fund that i actually don't have to so i don't consent. So your fifth guy, the jerk, is being bound by wills not his own because four of us say you have to pay taxes even though you don't want to. That's not justified coercion under this system. And so what buchanan said was, it seems like the logic of vixel's approach is air tight. If it's not necessary, it is sufficient.
