      Technically, sure. You are free to go live in the woods, off grid, somewhere. Or you are free to violate this particular social contract and deal with the consequences.

        That’s legally not possible. Every piece of land belongs to someone already, either a private entity or a government. You might be able to live somewhere in a forest, but you’re at the mercy of the entity that owns the land you live on.

        You could technically live in the ocean, but I’m no fish lol

      You can volunteer yo not pay taxes. Move to some place without and renounce your citizenship. If I recall correctly Saudi Arabia doesn’t have a great deal of personal taxes.

      Taxes are how currency gets its value. So if you plan to stop using taxed currencies, then sure.

        With all due respect but that might be the worst take I’ve heard this week.

        A currencies value is determined by the economy behind it. There’s a reason why countries with lots of exports have a strong currency, while countries that don’t are weaker in comparison.

        Obviously, it’s not the sole reason - economy is complex. But taxes have no role in a currencies value.
