Taxation is theft. If you don't pay it, what happens? The goons come and put you in a cage. You are being extorted, and others are voting for the other guy that will extort you more. We don't need to be extorted to get the financing that is needed for roads, schools, smartphones, security...
If you want security then hire private security, or take some kung fu lessons. If you want schools, then pay for a private school. If you want a smartphone, then find a way to pay for it. The beautiful thing about free markets and real capitalism is that private companies will compete for your business, producing a better product or service for you. Pool your funds with others and enjoy the benefits of shared resources too. I apologize if I did not explain that very well :(
Bitshares has HTLC/ACCS (atomic swaps) built-in. If more designers/devs would build use-case UI's around that, then nobody would bother with the CEX's anymore. The tools are there, you just have to make use of them. :)
