Nothing will change if we obey the government or any authority, still pay taxes, use fiat, etc. We can scream boating accident all we want, are still slaves. Same goes for privacy, you can hide all you want, but who are you running from?
Many taxes (like sales tax) are ridiculous. Although, paying for land that receives police protection, road maintenance etc makes sense. Think we should distinguish types of tax too. The government is not what it should be, but it can fulfill a good role if done better.
