Businesses absolutely not. I was talking more on an individual level. I also was not defending people whining about it, just getting around it the best they can. Like I said, I agree with you - there would be no growth. It would be exactly like an apocalypse if no one paid taxes. We would go back at least 100 years, making it extremely difficult to survive at the least.
You can't fully get away from it, but you can at least subsist the best you can. I barter with firewood (this is mostly how I rent my house, so no prop taxes), grow my own shit, I DO have electricity and water, have a farm use truck so I don't pay DMV much but I DO use the roads... I understand the importance of taxes maybe even more so than those that live in a city... I guess my point was people need to be more aware. So I guess to a certain point we agree.
