Dude. I'm set to retire before I'm 50, and I'm 43, also a veteran. I'm retiring in San Diego, the most unliveable city in the US. Paying taxes is the second most patriotic thing that a citizen can do. The fact that you view them as theft is a you problem. They are the dues that you owe society for treating you so well.
The four most patriotic things one can do are as follows in this order:
Vote.
Pay your damn taxes.
Serve in local office, and maybe higher.
Serve in the military.
The reason that the military is so low is that most people aren't a good fit for the military. We need thinking soldiers that will refuse an unlawful order, not mindless automatons that parrot every hateful lie they can.
That's specifically what we did to a good amount of Loyalist conservatives when we founded the country.
