The answer is that EVERY dollar paid to govern-cements is used for evil or worse.

Welfare ⇒ poverty
Govern-cement Worker ⇒ Two public jobs destroyed
CPS ⇒ Families destroyed, children further hurt.

So, paying any taxes is adding to that.

Am I in a position where I can realistically make a moral choice?

Now, this is the question.

The answer is, No, you are not!

If you even act like you are not paying "your fair share" you will be killed or worse.
Even if you PROVE that taxes are illegal according to the constitution, you will be confined in prison.

One solution is to not make any money (federal reserve notes). This gets harder and harder, but it is doable.

And the real solution would be that along with your 1040, you fill out a form for where your taxes go. If any govern-cement branch doesn't get minimum funding it is immediately shut down. Now, that would be real voting power.
