I wasn't going to respond any more to this pseudo-anarchy, coffee shop philosopher stuff, but after reading your answer, I simply have to make a basic statement, and then, it is truly done:

You continually state that the taxes don't belong to the government, but I say, and YOUR ACTIONS say that they do. Infrastructure doesn't spontaneously appear. You are using some of that infrastructure to reply on the Internet. This Internet is the result of a GOVERNMENT PROJECT. Just one example of dozens upon dozens of things you use that come from levies, taxes, etc. You live in this (USA) society, however grudgingly, and reap the benefits. As you point out, there are also drawbacks and obligations. But THAT IS WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR IMPLICITLY OR EXPLICITLY when you choose to live with others in a society. That is how it's been from the beginning. Only a person completely off the grid without any contact with others can say what you are trying to say. My idea of society? *smile*

EVERY GOVERNMENT on planet Earth gets something from their people to operate.

How does society function without some form of contribution? Hint: it doesn't.

Since the advent of human civilization, ALL societies have had some form of contribution system for the group good. ALL of them. There have even been wars fought, warm and cold, over exactly how it should be administered, how much should be contributed, and by whom.

Depending on your spiritual/philosophical belief system, for several hundred thousands of years, or several thousand years, people choosing to live together have contributed something to the group cause.

No one 100% agrees with government spending. No one. I can't just pick and choose among military, police, firefighting, transportation infrastructure, education, arts, etc. categories. But, not being able to contribute a la carte is the compromise for the foundation of society.

Taxation without representation is immoral. Excessive taxation is immoral. Paving a dirt road for a Lexus is not immoral.

"It should be criminal to pay MORE than your fair share."

Unless you are budgeting time and money for evictions right away, walk away from the deal.

The stats are interesting, but don't Chicken Little about them automatically. One has to see how they affect your business strategies.

I am not trying to be mean with this comment (only helpful and funny), but with the type of questions you are asking, you shouldn't be undertaking this in any way, shape, or form.
