It's kind of hard for me, to be all mad about folk who want to avoid taxes. I find that taxation itself is fraud, biggest of them all.
If you think like that, there's a nice thread for you here on BitcoinTalk:
Is taxation theft?That got me thinking though: what if you could use the PayPie blockchain tech to establish a direct democractic government spending system?
You have to contribute a percentage of your income to tax, but you're free to choose how it will be spent by sending it to a selection of government addresses, each associated with a specific category or policy. Then you don't even need political parties anymore to decide the budgets for you.Now this idea I like.
Everything that makes the system "thinner" while giving more influence about the future decisions back to the community, is very welcomed.
+ cutting corrupt big time, with blockchain and transparency.

But that is no reason, to not have an accounting platform, that gives clear awnsers about an entity's financial situation.
I'm actually looking forward to trying the finalized platform out, maybe it will give me a better understanding.
I too sometimes wish I didn't have to pay tax but I love having access to moderate to top notch amenities like clean water, safe road, moderately safe environment etc. all task is accomplished by public servants and how do public servant get paid? thru citizen/company taxation. So if everyone stopped paying tax, a nation will decay because finance needed to uphold this aforementioned task will be dependent on public donation. Countries where taxation is strictly enforced and its use is transparent, tend to do very well.
It's not really about paying for the common good, or paying to the good man and women at public service. They are necessary.
But I can not say the same for the government officials and paper pushers, because they don't have the common good of the people in their mind. They've been at power positions for too long, and they have become alienated from the reality.
If everyone stopped paying tax, and would start using a system like described above, we would live in a better world.
