How would a guverment work without taxes? And if your argument is that a society works without a guverment, how would that work in regards to hospitals, firefighters, cops, social programs for the poor or homeless, etc?

The government should be extremely limited and funded by fees charged for useful services it provides, if needed a small sales tax could be instituted locally.

Rights need to be restored back to the individual so people can take care of themselves as needed in terms of defense and health care instead of sending 80% of their income to be wasted relying on some horrible and inefficient system. Once we wrangle the state back down to size people will have more than enough wealth to give to charities to help the poor.

Taxation is theft. I described voluntary payments for services rendered.

Boy, do I have news for you about private companies. Turns out government works tend to be more efficient, and less wasteful than private.

Turns out it does not. 50% of stolen money (tax revenue) is used to murder people around the world.
