30 years for tax evasion? No wonder he preferred to die. I mean, you’ll get jail time for severe cases of tax evasion in Germany, too, but it’s a couple of years at max and most of the time it’s on probation. How do you justify your draconic punishments in the US which is supposed to be a free country?
Not only did he die in prison, but he was banned from selling his books.

I never gave consent. Just because I was born here I have to give my earnings to a system governed by representatives chosen through a binary (red or blue) funnel? How can topics as complex as transgender rights, or abortion be all boiled into a single digit of information. And then I'm stealing if I don't consent to a system I by all statistical means have no control over!?
If you don't want to pay taxes, you can live off the grid. It's really rather simple if you think about it- if you're off the grid you're using none (or very very few) government resources like roads, utilities, banking networks, etc. With that, you're also not making any money meaning there's nothing to tax. You can also move.

Yes I've met a number of personable people who I completely disagreed with on politics and their actions, as long as you don't challenge their ideological stances. It's kind of like dealing with an alcoholic as long as you don't challenge their addiction everything tends to go well. It happened to me just last night on the phone. The human mind is a complex thing.
Was just reading about McAfee freebasing bath salts from old posts on an old Joe Rogan forum and not paying taxes seems like the absolute least he was up to: >I've processed 23 kilos of this stuff in the past year or so, and bump it myself every day - in fair quantities the hypersexuality... is beyond belief. I have had a number of acquaintances (both male and female) who have rubbed their genitals way past the point…
What compound(s) is(are) those?

Are you sure you want to use a fictional story as an example？

Well, that military won't pay itself...
Having a US passport entitles citizens to a lot of benefits globally, those benefits have to be paid for. It would seem odd that you can benefit from the US growing up, and once you make it, you can move to the Cayman Islands and not pay for the benefits you have received
