LOL "End taxation, free the market" only the rich say that. Lets get back into reality, top leading nations in this world have high taxes, the taxation gives wealth and services to everyone. The top leading rich nations that tax, have people flocking to their countries from poor nations that don't tax.
Here's some advice.... If your working minimum wage don't spend above your means. Save, learn new skills to get a new job, learn programming its free to learn and you don't have to go to school for it. I was on minimum wage for 6 years and i got through it by working, learning new skills, and the taxation didn't hold me down. If you have debt from school,  "get back to reality"  school doesn't guarantee you a job when your done, and taxation has nothing to do with it.

How does taxation give wealth and services to everyone? If that were true, then there would be zero homeless people in any geographical area that gets taxed. Seattle, WA is an example of a geographical area that gets taxed yet has one of the highest homeless populations in Washington state.

That's a False Dilemma fallacy. There are plenty of points where taxes are used to help people but the problems are too large, or where taxes are simply used ineffectively. It does not prove that taxes can't be used to improve society, and in fact in general societies with higher taxation do tend to have fewer social problems.
