I dan take a disagreement with the level of taxation but to avoid it entirely is immoral.
Good question Googlebug. Why indeed. Why would any taxpayer feel it's appropriate to pay taxes for services they neither need, nor want? Let's consider them for a moment - free health - the greatest con of all time. Decades ago, PJ O'Rourke said, "If you think health care is expensive now, wait 'til it's free", yet many still consider lawful drug pushing beneficial for their health! Certainly not the Royals, who rely on Homeopathy, or anyone else who's bothered to consider the subject objectively. The same goes for education, which are state run indoctrination camps that help create gaps between generations, pitting the youth against their own parents, just by stealing their minds slowly, but surely. For each service our taxes provide, there is a much greater cost in freedom we lose as we become dependent on big bruvver to do for us what we could, and rightly should, do for ourselves.
Then we could ask why should Govts need any taxes at all from us when they have the proverbial horn of plenty. When we work and get $1000 gross, straight away tax takes at least $300, then we spend about $500 in the next week just to live, on things that include at least another $200 in tax. So, by the end of the week, we've just given half our pay to Govt, but that's not the best part. When Govt spend any money, it comes back to them, even if they throw it around like drunken sailors. Therefore, the notion that we even need to pay tax is absurd if we knew the true figures behind this scam. Walter J Burien calculated that in the US, tax provided just 1/3 of Govt revenue, the remaining 2/3 was from investments on capital. But it gets even better. Govt funds never lose, unless they're set up for public benefit. Why? Because they make the rules, so they never back something they know won't win because it doesn't suit their long term agenda. In fact, they have so much money invested at high return on zero tax that they can even afford to crash a few of their own investments if it suits their plans to do so. Remember, Govt win whether we win or lose. In fact, it can be argued that they win more when we lose.
If you want further reason, we could talk about how all wars are ploys to plunder countries at taxpayers expense on the justification that they're for our defence. After that, it gets ugly. Seriously ugly. Do you need to know any more?
