I disagree with your view on taxes. It is the money of the state they just let you use it. They issue it, back it, created it out of thin air. If you don't want to pay stop using their money. To quote Jesus, "give unto Caesar what is Caesar's" it regards to taxes. Just saying taxes are the price to play the game with their tokens. I don't believe the money in my account is mine in any sense it is what "they" have allowed me to control based on my contribution, if they take it back it sucks but it's their game their rules.

I suppose that's why they "just let you use" your property as well - because it's theirs? No. They tax you on your property and tell you that it must be paid in their dollars. They tell business owners that they must file and pay taxes in their dollars. They tell you that you must file and pay taxes in their dollars. If you don't comply, they harass, assault, imprison, or even kill you - depending on how much you resist.
You can disagree with that, but you can't claim that it's not true. There are very few (if any) plausible options to avoid all taxes and fees. And you are not addressing the fact that, even if you can avoid taxation altogether, others who cannot are still providing goods and services with tax burdens already built into their prices.
I'm going to have to completely disagree with your entire premise. It's not a matter of choosing to use dollars. That "choice" does not exist, unless you're willing to potentially die for refusing to make it. For pretty much everyone, death is not preferable to using dollars.

I don't disagree that not paying taxes is impractical. Owning property is not required for survival so you pay the tax to have the land. You want a business you pay the tax. those are all choices made by the individual. I'll admit I was off the mark about choosing to use the dollar. The fact remains governments collect taxes. Why argue about it, why get upset. It's like saying I wish there were more hours in the day, are you going to slow the rotation of the planet? NO. Are you going to divide the day into 50 hours? ..maybe but the time is the same. It's just pissing in the wind. There are ways to pay less in taxes and you can play games that way. I don't understand why people get so worked up. they want roads and schools and a military, police and firefighters. Maybe these things could be provided by a free market, but so far these things are paid by our taxes though the government. The people have said they want these things. Why because they make our country strong and safe. Taxes don't hurt me they help me I make and keep more money because I pay taxes not in spite of paying them.
