because that's not how societies work, you live in a state you benefit from the expenses and investments and other people in the state and you pay in to that, sorry it is the deal, in the last 40 years there has been a reversal of where the tax burden falls not to mention there are trillions of dollars of tax fraud https://www.taxjustice.net/2020/07/22/tax-justice-networks-o...

Can you prove that? So far I just see a bunch of people claiming other people's wealth their own to dispose of. That's definitely not how a healthy society is able to function in a long run. USSR tried that, Cambodia tried that, Venezuela is trying it now.
How about we just enforce an inheritance tax in your family alone, and donate everything you have to a local charity and see if it makes a difference in your community? Your goal is to give away your wealth, as far as your comment goes, so it sounds like a legit plan of action. Just don't impose the same goal on everyone else.
