RE: Now known: Paying taxes is a sign of delusion.
You said it yourself; the real reason people pay taxes is fear. If you don't pay your taxes, you're going to jail and you're going to owe the government even more for not paying. If paying taxes was optional, I doubt anyone would pay them.
If taxes were optional, and there was a free market with non monopolized services by the state, some people I'm sure would pay them voluntarily, until the delusion of statism is dissolved; but the other people who didn't would probably find better services than the state provides, and from competitors, for cheaper.
