I would argue that income taxes are still new enough (~100 years) that you can claim moral superiority over the state’s arbitrary claim to support them
The nation state concept was arbitrarily rolled out worldwide over the last few centuries and their passive revenue ideas are just as arbitrary
People largely debate the fairness of the tax amongst all participants in the system instead of the system itself, this is understandable because they are numerous and powerless whereas the multinational class is the exact opposite
But these still have no effect on the intrinsically amoral nature of government revenue ideas
The nation state concept got itself into its own mess
