Tax isn't necessary anyway.
It's just a means of stealing true wealth from the population, money does not need to be taxed.

Infact, I'll go even further and say money is useless to our society now.
Because it is.

While I am for as low tax as possible if there is no tax how does the nation pay for defense? How about schools, police, roads, sewers, and so on?

Huh? Money is simply a medium of exchange. You can barter but that is inefficient. You can use wheat, or oats if someone accepts it as exchange. You can use precious metals but that is cumbersome. You can use paper that is exchanged and is backed by precious metal like it used to be and one can debate the merits of that. Or you can use paper that means people accept as representing value. Granted much of that works electronically these days. But you have to have a medium of exchange.

It must be nice having relinquished the arduous task of thinking for greener and easier pastures.
Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us
