Control is subjective. How "Hard" someone works is subjective as well. I don't think the Tax code is any measure of a fair or accurate system of anything.
You said,

"An easy way to not pay taxes is to quit your job or move to a country that doesn't have taxes. Most of your readers probably don't have the ability to do either"

I'm a reader and I have the ability to do both. I also don't pay taxes. A lot of people don't.
I do "Focus" on people that Steal from me. Doing so does not make me negative, it make me ALERT. Order followers are people who follow the leader and persuade others to do so as well... you also said,

I managed to retire early while paying taxes to the government through hard work and not focusing on who was "stealing" from me. . .The same path others in the US have taken to accomplish wealth creation. Maybe that would be a better suggestion for people.

Good for you! That's one route. There are other routes as well. Whether one route is "Better" than another is subjective. Different doesn't denote Negative.
So I will say... I AM POSITIVELY CERTAIN!

Taxation is theft!
