Go Galt.  Why contribute to a system that is going to take your earnings away?

I think that's an unaddressed issue, or reason.

 @5fc4ba46 @6a018a2a income tax is especially evil because it requires you to tell the govt all of your business.  This tilts the balance of power.  Its none of their business.

True.  And, you either pay someone to determine it, or spend your own time playing accountant.

 @5fc4ba46 @6a018a2a yes.  5k per year to have them done.  (This includes the business taxes and multiple states)
