Again, I don't owe them anything. I EARN my money by adding value to the world. That value is legitimate by the fact that someone paid me VOLUNTARILY for my services. Any money I EARN is mine to do with as I wish, as by being its creator I have the authority over it.

Calling someone a "tax professional" and that person saying I owe doesn't make it so. Taxes are merely extortion by definition.

Grow up, Maged. You're a sheep, and a coward, and an accessory to extortion.

This is complete nonsense. I just want to give you an example. Part of the taxes which should be applied to your income is the social security tax, which is used to pay for current and future social security retirement benefits, benefits for widows and widowers, and disability benefits. What if nobody pays these taxes?

If you don't want to contribute to society, just go live on the Moon. if you are in the US and you benefit (or you may benefit in the future) of any kind of social service, then you should pay taxes. Otherwise, you seem like a grownup kid who lives in his parents' house and refuses to give a share of the rent because any money you earn is yours to do with as you wish.

I contribute to society every day by working in the private sector. That's why people pay me VOLUNTARILY for what I do - they value my services more than what they are paying me - so it is a net gain for them to do business with me.

By "social services", what you really mean are "services paid for with extorted funds".

If I hold a gun to your head, and told you to pay me and I'll build you a website, would that be right of me even if I actually did build you a website? Of course not. Calling a gang that does the same thing "government" doesn't change the morality.
