> i can't avoid paying taxes Yes you can, you get sent to prison though. And you can choose to get paid less then that means less medical care, more suffering in other ways,etc... What you are saying is the suffering of prison is too much but other suffering other people have to endure is not so bad so in order to comply with your moral code, they have to accept the same amount of suffering you can accept. A moral code that is worth getting paid less but not worth prison is not only cheap but very much hypocritical when you hold others to it. "Suffer what is right but only up to my endurance level, not more and not less".

And you can choose to get paid less then that means less medical care not where i am from. everyone gets the same medical care, only those that earn so little that they can't pay the normal rate get extra support or a lower rate for the same service. that's a problem you should fix in your country so that people can actually live to their chosen moral code without having to suffer for it. A moral code that is worth getting paid less but not worth prison is not only cheap but very much hypocritical when you hold others to it how is that? not breaking laws is part of my moral code as it is part of the moral code of most people in this world. so if you were to accept prison for something you believe in you would be violating my moral code. how is that hypocritical? we do the best we can to improve the world, with the means that we have, within the legal framework that we are in. i come from a culture that values social responsibility, and working for a company that exploits people or pollutes the environment, is not socially responsible.
