You are free to move to some country where taxes are zero and there is no government, such as Somalia. Or you can move to Greece or China where the government does not bother to collect taxes from wealthy people. In China, I have heard that practically no one who earns $50,000 or more needs to pay taxes. You pay a small bribe to the IRS agent and you are free and clear for another year. For that matter, wealthy people in the U.S. such as Romney pay only ~15% these days, thanks to laws that Romney's own company helped push through Congress. You cannot ask for a more responsive government than that! They let you write your own tax laws. We are approaching your ideal system, as long as you earn more than $1 million per year and your company has a strong lobbying organization in Washington. We will soon catch up with China! - Jed
