Why? Because taxes show thankfulness to our fellow-countrymen and to mankind.
How? By paying your taxes and contributing to your society.
You can keep believing what you're sharing, regardless of logic or ethics and in the end you won't have to consider either.
My original point was that people will probably continue breaking the law and getting in trouble for doing the same thing that this individual did. I stated that it was unfortunate, which it is. I shared my thoughts on paying taxes because I feel that they're right. I also stated that you as a free human being are able to do what you'd like, be it pay taxes or not. I'm not totally sure what you're arguing over, or that arguing further will prove in some way that my beliefs are unreasonable.
