Only if you subject yourself to the jurisdiction in question. You're free to move out to avoid oppressive tax. I hope many do.

2.4% sure sounds oppressive.

If 2.4% of your income isn't oppressive, why not send me 2.4% of your income? I promise I'll try and spend it on things that will benefit some people.

I don't mind paying my taxes. Why? because I like parks and roads and schools and safety nets. Is there some waste? yes. But if you don't want to pay any taxes, move to Somalia, I'm sure it will be paradise.
