 If you think taxes go towards a good thing, why would it change your
position if others pay or don't pay? Your money still does good.

 Lazarus Long kept on moving out further every time the tax system became
onerous.  Onerous was about 2%.

 Lazerous Long is a fictional character.

 And your point is ?
 People have always moved to new frontiers in search of less regulation and more freedom.

 I  think the primary motivation has always been free land.  And slaves to work it, in some cases.
 

Preferably free slaves.  ;)
