Somolia has taxes. If you don't want to pay (income) tax there is Monaco, UAE, Bermuda, Bahamas, etc. Somehow they manage to have roads and firemen.

Those countries all have various forms of (non-income) taxation.

Could you please elaborate a bit?

Because on the surface it looks like USA also has non-income taxation, such as sales tax (in lieu of VAT), property tax and so on.

Sales and property tax don’t go to the federal government.
