As a result of BTC I am paying more tax to support my NZ government than ever before.
As a result of property which has created most of my wealth I paid fuck all tax because CGs on property are not taxed in NZ...which is a massive loophole that I have exploited but do not entirely agree with.
Either way I pay my taxes even if I disagree on some of the fine points of how we are taxed because I recognise that taxes enable the collective action that is required to have a civilised prosperous and secure society.
I do however minimise the degree to which I contribute toward the US military industrial combine that extends its tentacles into nearly every liberal western democracy via banks and other power projection mechanisms.
Holding most of my liquid capital in sats rather than dollars enables me to avoid contributing toward the US fiat debt slavery bankers cartel/military industrial complex to a large and satisfying degree.
If you want to not pay taxes go somewhere there is no government and good luck to you surviving let alone enjoying a safe and prosperous life!

That taxes enable a well funded prosperous and harmonious society.
The taxpayer gets a wealth of services for their taxes.
I enjoy public healthcare, education, roads, police, environmental protection, border control, science and industrial research and many more government services that enhance my life and the wealth and security of myself and all citizens.
Would love to see how long you would survive outside of the protective skirts of your nation state - doubt it would be long before you are a sobbing moaning and bedraggled mess begging for a blanket a coke and a Big Mac.
Accept it - taxes are a great thing - you only must pay them to the degree you are prospering...and the degree to which you are prospering is roughly related to the quality of your government combined with your own efforts...and good government does not come cheap.

Any rational actor is more than happy to pay taxes as they can provision a decent, secure, modern, prosperous and civilised society to live in and enjoy.

Taxation is not socialism you moron - taxation is the price of being in a civilised organised group of humans for mutual protection, rule of law, property rights and wealth creation.
