I 100000% agree! The only issue is that on this Earth, far away = Antarctica, Bouvet Island, a barge in the ocean....

Surely there needs to be some middle ground where I can live in a relatively hospitable place without having to worry about being placed under surveillance and being forced to pay large income and property taxes ;)

Those places are called tax havens, but they still operate on taxes paid by the regular citizenry, which is unfair.

You are unfortunately stuck sharing your respective country with other people, and if you ever use a road, a doctor, an emergency service, have a standing army or series of power stations and central banks that keep the economy chugging along, you should absolutely pay what the people consider a fair share of taxes.

Maybe, just maybe, if there is literally nowhere on the earth that you can go to find your ideal society, that your ideal society can't exist? There are hundreds of countries and 7 billion people. If none of them have the system you want, that might suggest it isn't workable in practice.
