The problem I have with that philosophy is that (to my mind at least) it can lead to what I described earlier, that is people creating taxes for all the wrong reasons and then trying to convince others that it is their "duty" or their "moral obligation" to pay them. I feel a moral obligation to help maintain freedom, as well as the means to secure it. It could even be argued that it is my moral obligation to help those who cannot help themselves. It is, however, not my job or my place to take from someone else and use that to pay for what I think is right.

You can argue "civic duty" and "moral obligation" 'til the cows come home, but taxation is still extortion. You can argue that I should pay willingly, but the fact is that someone else takes it without asking, and my opposing that, or hiding from it, doesn't make it immoral, only illegal.
