Then choose to live where the taxes are low and services are shit. Don't take the piss out of our choices. They do not affect you.

replying to sibling-response:

and where would I go? it seems that universally around the world there are a large amount of people that feel that they are entitled to rob their fellow citizens, at ultimately what is gunpoint threat of being put in jail.

if I just go mind my own business, and conduct business with other likeminded people, and the regime finds out, they will send their brownshirts with guns to drag me away, simply for refusing to give them half

> where would I go?

Somalia seems to be the only actually tax-free country. I think border control is lax enough that you can "safely" go live there if you wish.

Somalia isn't "tax-free". It just has rival gangs of warlords collecting taxes, rather than having one gang with a monopoly on it.

Not the same thing.

Hmm, this almost seems like the logical conclusion of a government with no revenue.

Do your own research. This is an article that leads to 0% taxation options, first thing Kagi suggests: https://www.theceomagazine.com/lifestyle/property/lowest-inc...

so you are atleast agreeing that you think the biggest gang should set the rules and force them upon other people who do no harm to ANYONE, but simply wish to be left alone?

I’m not sure “uproot and move” is an acceptable solution to wanting to opt out of parts of a society. You certainly wouldn’t give this suggestion as a solution to just about any other problem people have. Especially when the places you can move probably make up like 1% of the earth.

I don’t understand your logic. You claim that the “services” offered to you by your government are worth the taxes you pay. But you don’t want them to be opt-in. Aren’t you tipping your hand a bit? Seems like you might not be so confident that the services are worth it, and that a ton of people wouldn’t opt out.

If you really don’t drive on public roads or use any public services, you can probably get away with not paying taxes.

Government isn't a business. Society is the rules we regularly agree to keep playing. Your parents made the choice to birth you into a society. If you don't like playing by society's rules that everyone else understands results in a better life, then go live in Somalia or an unincorporated territory somewhere.

First things first: Get the fuck off the roads I pay for with taxes, stop drinking water I'm paying for, stop using ANY medical care because that gets government funding in the US, stop using electricity because there's often government involvement in that, stop using the internet, that was built with tax dollars, stop breathing the air that the government attempts to keep clean etc.

I am not in the US, and I cannot stop using the things others pay for, because they FORCE me to pay for it aswell, or they will haul me away to jail. and in doing this, they also keep ANY competition away, because who can compete with "free".

I pay for water, and then i pay 150% taxes on the water because reasons.. I would just hire someone to drill a well for me on market terms, but the regime made it illegal

edit: actually its about 300% taxes on the water

There are plenty of failed states on the planet where you can live with basically no taxation at all.
