@beardalaxy Do what they do and start your own BS charity. I plan on having the Ioncom Foundation, dedicated to getting the third-world out of poverty by giving children programming books but no computers.
Taxation would probably be somewhat more moral if the penalty for not paying them was either:
a.) Exile from the city/country - This really can only be done in small countries or city-states like The Republic of Cospaia back in the 1400s. I can't see a large country like the US implementing such thing.
b.) Denial of government services - This would effectively render the government a private service, but I'd expect the government would try to ban any non-government organization from forming competing services, otherwise you would effectively have an anarcho-capitalist or panarchist system. You would also have some socialists object to this as this would also make free healthcare or UBI impossible and the rich can simply not pay taxes by just hiring private security, doctors, etc for themselves, but they pretty much already do that anyway.
i wish i had the balls to commit tax fraud. i hate the fact that if i don't shell out for the government to bomb children in other countries i might get fucking sent to prison. you know maybe if i wasn't balls deep in making a game right now i'd do it because i honestly don't really have anything else to lose.
fuck my last job for making me use a 1099 too that's pretty retarded. make the little guy pay the taxes for you.

I only care about other countries intervening. Ideally, we should stay the fuck out of it.
But it seems like everyone is in the false dichotomy in that if you aren't pro-TND then you are someone who wants to give foreign aid to every third-world country.

@Moon I'm pretty sure that pirate radio stations respected each other's frequencies.
