dk---i don't think you understand what's taking place--if this really is a mutation in the overall organization of capitalism (at the political level more than at the economic--and if you look at what's going in, things certainly appear to be heading in that direction) it follows that there is almost no likelihood that this sort of situation will repeat. so i don't understand what your motivation would be in preventing something that is impossible. but whatever.
it seems to me that your a priori fear of the state makes it impossible for you to think of anything that can or should be done in the present situation beyond allowing everything to implode. maybe that is your idea--such an implosion might be the greatest opportunity for the extreme right to creep out from total marginalization you'll see in your lifetime--but if that's the idea, you should be up front about it, and not pretend that you have something constructive to add if the question is what should happen, what the administration should be doing that it isn't doing, etc.
because your position about the state is rigidly a priori, and requires no new information to function, it follows that your position about taxation would also be rigid.
enjoy the teapartying then.
it may be fun theater, but it's not about relaying a coherent message.
