Proverbially, taxes along with death are considered inevitable. Many people are fine with this, which is why libertarians struggle.What's the point of bringing up a path that ISN'T legally available to us now? Food for thought? I think most people understand that government services aren't free. The only folks who don't seem to understand that services aren't free are those who seem more likely to vote Democratic. Guess what, public education costs money and if the results tend to suck or don't meet our expectations then private education may become the preferred option for our half of the country.
We keep coming back to these same points, the eagerness to harm others, and the unwillingness to pay for the community. These days, it is possible with computer networks to correct the latter, to pay taxes only for services sought and approved of. If you would care to seek that, it could be done, but you don't seem eager to take that path.
If you are just hostile and greedy, there is little more to be said. You will remain in a tiny fringe minority.
