agree - taxes, pension, and these shit are tailored to cage the 9-5, as they are too busy to think are any of these things make sense or not, work and consume all day long.
Is not easy to break those chains
not easy but doable, more people should be self-employed, then you play with your own rules, and with Bitcoin, wow, much more powerful!
Taxes basically allow countries to build common infrastructure like roads, public parks, lights, etc.
Whenever you are selling a good or service, you are using these public goods.
You are selling it to people that live in that country, so the country provides your clients.
You are using the footpaths, electricity, etc.
All those things are paid with tax.
No man is an island.

I agree with your reasoning but then governments needs to use those funds for its designated purpose. In my country there's a lot of corruption. So much money that's being designated for infrastructure projects are being funneled to the pockets of politicians a and their buddies. What's even more strange is how people continuously vote for those same politicians. Madness!

LOL another one believing those lies... Please stop defending taxes. Taxation is theft. Game over. If you want to pay, pay them, but don't force me to be robbed. I simply don't pay them. What you gonna do? Nothing. I simply do not comply to be robbed.

ISP are private companies... Keep paying their salaries with your taxes...

Sure, but they exist because they have the public infrastructure, and the people in that country, and the roads, electricity, etc.
At the end of the day, most services end up relying on public infrastructure.

do you really think without the gov, no one will build these things? - what if it creates more competition, and people build better public infrastructure?
reply
Ignore the statists... their brain can't function outside the state cage. Are irrecoverable, lost souls.

Of course people can build those things without government. Anyone can start their own infrastructure outside of the control of any government.
But if you are using public property already developed by a government, it seems fair to pay your share.
Value for value.

The system can become decentralized and companies competing to projects. Spending on materials should be fully transparent where citizens can investigate if funds were used for appropriately. This is just one example that can be improved on to eliminate governments completely.
OK go back to your slave cage paying taxes... I don't.
