I am against taxes for the same reason I’m against theft, exploitation, and slavery. Taxes is on par with slavery because the tax man is taking the fruits of another’s labor. In other words, not only is a worker toiling for the tax man for free, but at a loss. It’s theft or extortion because one is punished if one doesn’t pay. It’s exploitation because the tax man benefits himself and his beneficiaries from the work of others. So the values of your State appear to be slavery, theft, and exploitation.

There should be a State that is in a position to guarantee basic rights and compulsion to the people. Taxes are necessary for preserving the public nature of the State. The alternative is chaos and indecent anarcho-capitalism. Even within an anarcho-capitalist regime there would be a State, namely the biggest, richest, and most influential private agency of protection. However, the private agency of protection would be equal to private regime, something transcending the power of accountability of the customers and the people.
