This. IMHO anyone who doesn't like the taxes that maintain their surroundings, has an ethical obligation to relocate rather than avoid paying. Hell, tax money hired the guys who created the Internet.

Most folks who complain about taxes aren't objecting to the very existence of taxes, merely the fact that they're excessive, largely spent on things that they shouldn't be, and disproportionately lumped upon a small sector of the population. Few would complain about, say, a flat 10% tax rate to support basic infrastructure, courts, police, et cetera.

On the other hand, there are folks who genuinely believe that taxes should be zero. They're welcome to move to Somalia.
