No different, if you conflate taxes with slavery. That's preposterous though, for obvious reasons. If you don't like paying taxes, you can always quit your job: no income, no taxes. If you're a slave, on the other hand, quitting means torture and/or death.

So yeah, the desire to have others provide for your needs through tax dollars is worlds away from the desire to own slaves.
