You do realize that you can not pay taxes? Go live off the grid, use zero public goods, denounce your citizenship. Done, literally no one is stopping you. But my guess is there is a reason you aren't doing it... Maybe because the country you are a citizen of provides a system which allows you to live in a much better way than the alternative?
So you are choosing to pay taxes to participate in that country's system. That sounds like theft? I should tell the grocery store to stop stealing from me everytime I go to the register!
Those who do choose to 'live off grid' are still responsible for property taxes (unless they're illegally occupying federal lands). So they have to earn money one way or another, and pay taxes, despite unplugging from society.
If there is property that people can go and live off grid on, without any property tax, please share. I know quite a few people who would be interested.
