We are FORCED to pay a tax upon every transaction, and they say Bitcoin doesn't have any taxes? That's just pure crap. Taxation is unconstitutional theft via armed extortion. In Bitcoin's case, it's unavoidable, and is without the armed extortion (YOU ARE FORCED TO PAY).
You are not forced to do anything, or you don't understand how it works. Fees are so that transactions are completed faster and once all the coins are mined there is some incentive for people to keep mining.
