Stealing by not paying all your taxes

I'm sorry, but this kind of thinking is insanity. Defending myself from theft by "legal" coercion isn't stealing.
I understand you completely, but why care about citzenship at all then? My point is that government offer something. The deal might be bad from your point of view, but you have a choice. It's a contract you agree to!

You can't claim moral superiority over your government if you steal back from them.

Actually separating yourself from any government affiliation by saying no to handouts and government money and refuse to vote or participate in any public life is a much stronger message. in the US religious minorities have that privilege, thats quite unique for the US. I can think of a lot of countries where such separatist cultures would be either discriminated or worse.
