You can say that the government is taxing people against their will only if you can say that Amazon is charging the agreed price on your card on every purchase against my will. I prefer free services but my money is still being confiscated on every purchase.
Anyway, let's not pretend that the governments are aliens that you may choose to vote for or not. You can also participate in the government, population and the government are not different entities even in places like Cuba or DPRK(but their participation frameworks are really shitty, requiring stuff like obedience and close relationship).

You can realistically opt out of amazon purchases. Opting out of a country isn't realistically an option due to citizenship/immigration laws.

Okay but what does being able to participate in government have anything to do with whether something's "against my will" or not? I might have had a chance to influence that will, but that changes nothing about the fact that the government's will is against mine.
