[Avodah] dina demalchuta

[Eli Turkel]

<<Similarly, RZS's explanation could fit the cases of DDD in the gemora, were
it not for all of the rishonic and achronic explanation which is predicated
on DDD being an obligation, and not merely a recognition of validity.>>

According to most achronim including RMF one is obligated to pay taxes
and obey other laws of the kingdom that dont conflict with halacha.
I understand that some poskim that disagree with RMF and I assume Zev
is holding like those poskim but my reading is that is not the general
mainstream. Again I previously gave a link to an article by Eli Clark
on the chiyuv to pay taxes
