"Show me a civilized society without taxes

s."

Vibes the same as someone asking in the 18th century:

"Show me a civilized society without blood letting."

It misses any creative solutions introduced with the advent of new technology.

"BuT yoU cAn'T show Me OnE!"

Is not a demonstration of intellect but rather an admittance that there is no evolution of thought beyond the Luddite answer of extortion and violence. The arguing party cannot advance the argument to one of "taxes" as "technology" to consider alternatives in the abstract but stays firmly fixated on being right with absolute concretes.
