If you are a loyal citizen you will pay taxes. You can't expect from governments to enable you  health care, infrastructure, education and all benefits in community without paying taxes. All that should be financed from somwhere.
Very often people look at paying taxes just like giving something to the state and they always forget what they are getting in return.
And when bitcoin is involved don't forget that you also have to pay taxes, not on the coins in wallet itself but on transactions when you exchange it or if you run some bitcoin business.
