That's exactly the reason the average joes are sinking down year after year while the elite gets richer and richer. If you are not willing to take an extra step or two then you can just as easily hand all your money over to the government directly.
No one in the world has the right to claim whatever percentage of your income, wealth or gains. There is no difference between a blatant criminal kidnapping you to demand ransom and the government throwing you in jail till you pay what they think you owe them. Don't support these practices, it's nasty. All paying tax does is incentivize governments to keep doing it, because you'll pay. It works, why should they stop? It's up to you to stop it and not be a sheeple for ever.
If governments did what they say, I'd pay. I'd help them. But they don't, so I'm not paying them.
They can call me a criminal all they want, it's a simple case of a group of corrupt malfeasants complaining I won't give them money so that they can use it to commit immoral acts. If that makes me the bad person, then I don't want to live in "society" of people that support that anyway (the sort of people who will exasperatedly say "nothing can be done about corrupt politicians", yet I'm doing it, and they're too afraid to)
In most cases people choose the easiest and least bumpy road to walk on, and that's paying due taxes.
