The problem is that the social contract is a lie. Fed policy of inflation is a kind of deliberate taxation. Social Security is a bankrupt fraud. We borrow a trillion dollars a year, a debt that will burden today's children who have no say in the matter. The complex tax code is a giant con game where insiders and the wealthy shift the burden to the middle class. And you're not free to leave the US if you are wealthy, there is a substantial financial penalty (confiscation). It isn't all or nothing, we can have low, honest taxes and a decent society with a more vibrant private sphere.
