People who pay taxes are more valuable to our current governments, but substantially less valuable to the overall progress of civilization because through taxes they are subsidizing people and institutions who are actively trying to harm civilization, either intentionally or unintentionally. For most developped countries, a majority of tax money is spent on welfare for the elderly + welfare for the dysgenic masses, and some unlucky or unwilling individuals as well. Your tax money doesn't really serve the heroic purpose of building roads, infrastructure, power plants, or contributing towards scientific breakthroughs ; your tax money is largely spent helping others, many of which should really not be artifically allowed to survive and procreate via welfare. And what to say of the hundreds of thousands, millions, billions even that are spent on completely useless bullshit that doesn't benefit the common good, on foreign aid, and for you americans, foreign wars and foreign occupation? If you find virtue in the government siphoning away your money for this, you're a cuck and a chump.
Act out of rational self-interest and accumulate wealth without concerns for what the powers that be think your money should be used for ; or what they think is moral for you to do ; when you have enough power, you can then use it to steer things towards a better future.
