@carlosvalero7638 I've seen you spam this stupid comment on all the recent Nomad Capitalist videos. Clearly you're a leech who lives on welfare from the govt, so you don't want your money to dry up because you'd then have to actually work for money. Why should anyone pay taxes? After all they work hard for their money and are already forced to spend close to half their wage on living expenses, when you factor in half being taken by the government, they're left with nothing. What did the government do to earn that money? Nothing. Also, we get nothing for our taxes in the high-tax countries. Anyone who's in the top 3 tax brackets has to 100% pay-to-play. What I mean is you have to pay for everything, there is nothing in the way of 'public' services that you can use, you're forced to blow thousands of dollars each year on private health insurance or face even higher tax penalties (higher than the private health insurance). You are banned from seeing a public doctor once you have private health insurance so you're paying a lot to see a doctor and should you need to go to a hospital you're stuck going to private hospitals. Your driver licence and annual vehicle registration, as well as your council rates (a type of property tax) pay for the roads, as does the fuel excise (fuel tax), so that's already paid. Oh and all new roads are toll roads so you're paying twice for the same road, except the tolls are forever as the govt love the sales tax they get from every toll so they infinitely renew the toll operator contracts. You can't send your kids to public school as that's only for the poor leeches, you have to send your kids to private schools, the same private schools the govt and the leeches whinge are 'elitist' and should be closed. Your power, water and gas bill all pay for the utility infrastructure and for all the parks and gardens - its literally itemised on the bill. You want to have a hobby, well that means doing govt courses, getting government licences, doing mandatory update/refresher training, and having to register all your sport equipment for any sport deemed 'hazardous' (rock climbing, bushwalking, hiking, etc.) or where the equipment could be used as a weapon (anything involving bats/clubs). You don't even get a free passport for all the taxes you get forced to pay. A passport is like $500 but nope, the government demand you pay for that as well. What exactly do we get for our taxes? Absolutely nothing! Oh and the real kicker... its NEVER enough, the scum always want more. Look at Australia for example, they're now getting ready to increase all the current taxes and they're preparing to introduce new taxes because the place is completely broke. The worst part is the government have just announced they're about to start several projects that will cost hundreds of billions of dollars that they don't have. Funny how that's timed to match the higher and newer taxes. Current rates there (incl. the most basic living expenses being considered as a tax) come out to 75% of your annual income, maybe it'll be 100% by Christmas 2025. So tell me, you leech, what exactly does anyone get for paying their taxes, because normal members of society expect to NOT be extorted infinitely, and they expect to see what their money is spent on, and for taxes to reduce as the problems are dealt with, yet that NEVER happens.

@kahayse Because its 100% illegal unless you have absolutely no income, but then good luck living as that costs a lot of money.

Which you can't do as that just means you'll be paying insane taxes in the high tax western country you are from, and that you'll be doing business on their terms and not having access to over 80% of investments. Literally every 'western' country forces you to be their taxpayer unless you can prove you're legally in another tax system and that your entire centre-of-life is in that place where you pay taxes. The days of not living anywhere and thus not paying taxes are long gone. Even if you left your countries tax net, if they find out you aren't in another tax net, they'll simply say you have to pay taxes to them and there's nothing you can do about it.
