I feel like I'm in crazytown when I express distress about taxation - literally people forcibly taking away your property - and ppl act like I'm the crazy one. Sure, you could argue that this forcible theft is worth it, and I'll respect that, but it's still not crazy to be upset.
Naw man; give me a poor area where I don't get taxed, and if I'm also assuming good laws (low taxes don't mean shit if you're not allowed to start a business), then I'll bring some friends who think like me and we'll start building.

I see a poor area with no bad government control as opportunity - here, you can make things that bring everybody up and nobody will stop you.

And again I guess that comes back to what I said earlier, fine if you want to live in a small place, with a very ordered society and classist, little social mobility. Who would fund really niche things that don't occur much? Specialist cancer hospitals, or certain illnesses

That's fair enough I guess, but that's assuming you already have enough resources to always live on. Why would capital flow to an area in which health and wellbeing of its workers was very shakey?

There's a variety of reasons - historically having natural resources is one way of doing it - but anything that falls into the category of "they are producing something valuable" works. People without a lot, have a lot of incentive to produce something valuable.
