I've always lived in the US.

But... it's "the largest evil"?  To plagiarize Voltaire, "compared to what?"

It's the largest for a number of reasons. 1, because it so happens to be the biggest bully in the playground. Installing dictators, over-throwing democracies..wars for profit..

As for 2, .. well simply it's because I pay taxes into this system, and so I feel like I am sort of an accomplice. I can't talk about other nations, because I am from the US.

Wars have always been fought for profit, even the Crusades.  Also, what democracy has US overthrown lately?

As far as being an accomplice, sure.  There was a guy once who ranted about sharing and loving your neighbor, but he got nailed to a big cross, so that sort-a fizzled.  Great idea, capable d00d, didn't work out.  Might of helped if they knew his personal info, but that's a whole different debate Undecided

Anyhow, taxes are unpleasant, but that's what mankind came up with instead to help us plod along.  It ain't that bad, OP, you'll get used to it.
