When I was working, and when I was making substantial amounts of money, I always filed and paid my taxes. This only stopped, when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family.

This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted, or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.
