 Why do you pay taxes?  
 I like not being in jail? Taxation is theft but if I have to choose between thieves taking a portion of my money and those same thieves kidnapping and locking me up, I'd rather them take some of my money. 
 Time to leave such country. 
 What countries do you believe you can go to where you aren't legally obligated to pay taxes? Bankers' tax havens like Liechtenstein don't count. If there's a legitimate option for the common man, I'd love to hear it.

 If you're suggesting to pack everything up and head out into international waters to spend the rest of your life, that's not happening. That's not freedom, that's a watery prison. 
 No. You dumb then. Keep being USA prisoner and sponsor the war  
 Incredibly childish take.
