Is it really? What happens if you don't pay your taxes? Eventually you will be arrested. What if you resist arrest? Do the police ask you to come along nicely with an Especially Firm Voice the second time? Eventually, someone will deploy state-sanctioned violence in this situation. Stop whistling past the grave yard. That is how government works. They have guns, and prefer that you don't, just in case you get all argumentative and pouty.

> What happens if you don't pay your taxes? Eventually you will be arrested. At least where I'm from, no you won't. Your debt to the state will grow and eventually they'll try to repossess it (through e.g. wage garnishing). They can't arrest you for not paying taxes.

"What happens if you don't pay your taxes?" What happens if you go up and steal someone's car? The same thing that happens if you break any other law. "What if you resist arrest?" The same thing that happens if you break any other law. "Eventually, someone will deploy state-sanctioned violence in this situation." And you get no sympathy from me, because in this case, you clearly broke the law.
