Taxation is theft. "But who will build the roads" argument is really old and dumb, people are not some stupid monkeys who can't figure out things if no one guides them, there's nothing that can not be done privately and through voluntary cooperation (which is the same as privately). Roads, military, science and so on - all of it can and is done privately around the world. Government is exactly why Bitcoin was invented - you can't trust people with power and believe that they will do as they've promised, and even well-meaning leaders do stupid mistakes that cost billions. Just like Bitcoin have decentralized economy, some day people will decentralize power to the point when every individual will be independent from others.

dude I hate how my government is running the country too but how come you think that way? If you'll be the president of the country (and assuming you're not corrupt) how would you run the country without any budget?

You think roads and military funds are the only ones your taxes go through? What do you think runs the home care for elders? Your health benefits?

Stop evading taxatiom as it could help you someday bruv.
Well, if you differ from his opinion you have all the right to do so, but where have you been? That opinion while not very common in other places is not that uncommon here, in fact if you read the comments and principles of the people that envisioned something like bitcoin many years before satoshi accomplished it you will see very similar opinions.
