Income taxes didn’t really exist prior to the 20th century. The state has swelled in size since then, with predictably violent outcomes. It would be one thing if the money was spent in a responsible way that benefitted all members of society, but we all know that isn’t true. I wouldn’t feel bad about moving to escape a tax burden at all. Getting used to a new country isn’t that difficult, in my experience, and you’re always a short plane ride away from your origin country.
