I do not understand why you would want to pay taxes. Government and political action have done absolutely nothing to innovate in blockchain technology or innovate at all. The high quality of life many of us do have is only possible through technology--by innovators, not politicians.
My response to your query is that you should not have to pay taxes out of fear of political coercion. Instead, realize that coercion is the only tool the government really has to demand taxes from you. My view and that of many steemians is that we definitely want to keep Steemit.com a coercion-free zone.

hi @impatientoptim
Thank you for your kind comment.
Thats interesting point of view. I think paying taxes is a must if you want easy life, without tax officers suddently tearing your life apart.
Just checked your profile just to realize that we seem to share a number of interests :)
In particular that we both share a similar passion towards cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology :)
I will follow you closely :) Take care, Piotr
No problem. I honestly enjoyed your post. Because it is an important topic.
I think that many State officials would like to think they can tear your life apart. I only encourage you to remember that your flesh and the derivatives of your life (property) are ultimately yours. Nobody should have the authority to tear your life apart, specially not States.

I wish it would work that way.
