Do you pay your income tax. If not; why not?

It is meaningless to say you would not follow laws you are not subject to. You won't make a real risk/reward evaluation until you have to.

Yes I pay income tax. I have no interest in going to jail.

The thing I find irratating about OP is that OP is implying that more tax money should go to redistribute income. It takes a lot of nerve/stupidity (take your pick) to crow about not paying income taxes, then have no idea about the allocation of revenues are collected, then have no clue about how government spends its money (for example how defense expenditures are allocated), and say more or less that government should be redistributing more income to the less afluent.

Thanks for putting words in my mouth which are exactly what I DIDNT SAY!

"government should be redistributing more income to the less afluent"

Thats what would happen under state socialism. If you read my post I said I do not think this is sufficient or a move in the direction of liberty, freedom and equality.

I said quite explicitly that ALL forms of government and ALL forms of taxation can not provide a society where there is equality,(I included a critique of Marxist-Leninism) or a fair redistribution of wealth. Capitalism, whether state intervened or left to free market and trade, is IMO a recipe (and requirement) for inequality, exploitation and enslavery.

Also, try to refrain from saying things are idiotic when you havn't read properly or made an effort to understand where Im coming from, as, quite clearly you have made a gross interpretation of what I said.
