I never said taxes shouldnt exist - I said they should not be compulsory under threat of state-sanctioned violence.

If [any subject] requires forceful compulsion, it is only because it cannot persuade in a market of free choices. People want quality public services - they do not want to be stolen from.

Tax revenue received would then reflect political performance (or lack thereof) instead of enabling consistently gross abuse of public resources. It would make tax revenue dynamic and truely value-for-value, just like how a private business receives revenue only by offering quality service.
