Like what? Because most states have had registration of births for about a century.

Taxation is not theft. You either work in the country and make money, and use everything around you in that country that was provided by taxes (roads, sewer, fire, police, etc) or you don't work and don't pay taxes.
For one thing, the United States has a 30% expatriation tax. They will take 30% of your wealth just for leaving.
Your stuff (which was partially acquired via exploitation of the ecosystem that is the country that wants those taxes... Bet you drove on a public road) isn't.
That would be a hazard for your neighbours though. Like it or not, living in a society also means you have duties towards your fellow citizens.
Now all hail his highness, the holy Herman Hollerith!
Also, possible military service maybe?
But the GP poster is 100% correct that purposely not registering your children with the state in this day and age is hugely suspicious. You are giving up so many services and getting very little apparent benefit in return, there has to be some ulterior motive. It's not a good place to be where the least terrible answer is that you're a bit crazy in the head.
