Then you want benefits of the collective but don't wanna pay the price :-) ..
I am not debating high or low .. but taxes you got to pay if you are citizen of a sovereign state .. there is no way out ..

And it is NOT theft .. just like a transaction fee on Bitcoin is not a theft ..
It could be inefficient way to collect fee .. that sure may be improved ..
I want a free economy, to pay the person who works for the services they provide me and helps society. I recommend Principles of Economics by Saifedean Ammous nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak to you.
Sure .. as we move to micropayments with Bitcoin layer 10 :-) .. we will be able to pay for every single service that collective offers - but some services shall be mandatory - like defence - and law and order ..
Others like education , roads shall be use basis just like electricity and water .. .
But free economy doesn't mean FREE AS IN FREE beers 🍻 ..
As I said - less gov is good .. but no gov is not the solution :-) ..
The problem on left side is they see it as an opportunity to redistribute wealth .. free market means gov provides a service and collect money for it .. defence and law is a service ..
That said , welfare is NOT a bad idea .. every now and then everyone needs a little straw .. but straw it must be :-) ..not the whole ship ..
