Would you still pay if you knew for certain you'd get away with it? If yes, why, or why not?

Yes, I took from my community to get to where I am. I used libraries, roads, and social services. Ethically, it's only fair that you pay it back and give other people the same chance I had. If you have clean water coming out the tap then you benefit from people paying taxes.

That is noble, but what about taxes funding things with which you disagree, e.g. wars or whatever else with what you disagree completely, with passion?

As for the down-voter of my parent post, I would like to say that the question was genuine, out of curiosity. I do not see the reason for the down-vote, really.

For the record I didn't downvote you. As for your question, I get what you are getting at but I don't get to pick and choose where my taxes go and you will never 100% agree with everything being spent on a government level.

If it got to a situation where libraries aren't being funded and water isn't clean, which isn't out of the realm of possibility with this administration, then I may need to reevaluate my stance but right now I'm fine paying what I owe.

It is OK, I suspected it was not you.

By the way, I was just reading this: >>44630810 .
