The infrastructure funding plan is not a tax

A tax is a compulsory contribution to state revenue. If you do not comply, government agents will lock you in a cage.

With the new funding proposal, if you choose not to participate, nobody is going to lock you in a cage.

If you choose to play checkers instead of paying taxes, you will get locked in a cage.

If you choose to play checkers instead of mining Bitcoin Cash, nobody is going to lock you in a cage.

This funding plan is an experiment where the miners are attempting to defend the future of peer-to-peer electronic cash.

The miners failed to defend peer-to-peer electronic cash when Blockstream crippled their BTC-fork. It looks like miners may have learned their lesson and are now wielding their hash-votes to protect the system.

Let’s give it a try.
