    Yes, because infrastructure, subsidies, education and social spending still need to happen and not paying your taxes will erode those things long before they stop a genocide. If you don’t care about getting in trouble with your government, there are more effective things that can be done.

        Our citizens pay taxes out of pure love and devotion to our Dear Leader. We don’t have room for your silly Western moralities.
