At it's core I think it's a great concept. What I don't think is great is when people extend it to taxing because that essentially requires equating taxing with violence, which is just absurd from where I'm sitting. The fact that many people who argue for lower taxes/tax reform cite the NAP actually hurts their stance because once they make that leap it's hard to take them seriously.
The real issue is how the taxes are handled and what accountability there is for mismanagement of tax funds, if there even is any (what a groundbreaking stance amiright). I think it's pretty obvious that politicians are attempting to steer the conversation away from that by making the debate about whether taxes are acceptable or how much taxing is acceptable.
