I'd do it too, but no one above a livable wage should pay no taxes. The
laws need a major overhaul but I doubt we'll ever see it. Layers and
accountants don't want to simplify and put themselves out of business.

I'm happy to pay some taxes for some services that only a government can
provide. Protection by the military, highways, schools for starters. I
prefer to give to charities that are well run or to help an individual
directly as it is more efficient and I know there are benefits.
