Obviously my post is not serious, but while there are certainly valid reasons not to pay taxes (e.g., Thoreau not wanting to support a system that was set on expanding slave states), in our current system I think it's in pretty bad taste for someone who's living comfortably not to contribute to systems that help the less fortunate. It's definitely a complicated issue though.

Anyway, I'm not living comfortably and have nothing to invest, nor do I have money to pay a rich lawyer to fanagle my way out of legal trouble, so it's a non-starter for me.
