Not everything is a conspiracy.
I like using roads, my local library, my public schools, and my local park.
The issue is if my employer thinks I'm domiciled in Texas but I am actually working from Portugal, then my employer is paying taxes to Texas but not Portugal.
This pisses off Portugal as there is basically an additional person who's using public services but not paying for them (income and corporate taxes make the majority of tax revenue).
