We need to rob other people otherwise we become a vassal slave to China lol

If I was in a position to decide the appropriate penalty for significant tax evasion I would consider deportation- preferably to somewhere with very low rates of taxation.
Somalia, Haiti or the Central Republic of Congo may be suitable?
If you don't want to pay taxes you are free to go somewhere they don't have much government or taxation.

Taxation is not theft.
Taxation is the collective contribution required in exchange for citizenship and the protection and law and order including property rights that citizenship provides.
You are free to go somewhere else if you object to the taxation charged in your current domicile - but you will not because you actually prefer the advantages of living in a country with significant power projection and all the economic benefits that derive from that- that is funded via taxation!
