This is quite an interesting POV with a provocative title. I agree in many ways but I do question how we will have roads, bridges and all of the other things that taxes are "supposed" to pay for? I think it is more about accountability in terms of where and how our tax money is being used.
Thanks so much for such a great post.
Cheers!

Thanks for reading and responding! I would like to cite @larkenrose in response to your concerns about the roads, in lieu of a government managing them:
“But who would build the roads if there were no government? You mean to tell me that 300 million people in this country and 7 billion people on the planet would just sit around in their houses and think 'Gee, I’d like to go visit Fred, but I can't because there isn’t a flat thing outside for me to drive on, and I don’t know how to build it and the other 300 million or 7 billion people can’t possibly do it because there aren’t any politicians and tax collectors. If they were here then we could do it. If they were here to boss us around and steal our money and really inefficiently build the flat places, then we would be set. Then I would be comfortable and confident that I could get places. But I can’t go to Fred’s house or the market because we can’t possibly build a flat space from A to B. We can make these really small devices that enable us to contact people from all over the word that fits in our pockets; we can make machines that we drive around in, but no, we can’t possibly build a flat space.'” - Larken Rose
