> live free forever Well, this requires not only that there be no taxes or external fees /today/, but /for all eternity/. Not very good predictive models on what tax regime will be in place a few civilizations down the road. But there's other challenges to living forever that, historically, have proven a bigger obstacle to most people than taxes. Fortunately, most people aren't overly concerned with living forever; and in that case, you only need a place that has no taxes for a finite amount of time. The goal, in this case, is to avoid taxes for the rest of your life. And in most jurisdictions, you can elect to just not pay taxes and not suffer consequences for a significant period of time, often five years or substantially more. As long as you intend for the rest of your life to be no more than five years or so (and have a mechanism to enforce this), a huge majority of the world has a favorable tax enforcement regime, even if the tax billing regime isn't to your taste.
