That depends on what are we trading.
I would definitely trade my privacy with the government for any tax discount (and I think I'll have the longer stick, I'm no Indiana Jones) but whether I have an alternative or not is important.
A better question would be: would I move to a country where encryption is illegal if it had 0% tax?
No, I would shop for another country.
For a similar reason, I don't live in Dubai (0% tax but policies I don't approve of).
