Taxation isn't a product of the current government. It's been a constant feature of the nation and society since its founding. And without taxation the government wouldn't have any ability to actually govern. So, if you want to blame someone for taxation, you need to go back the founding of the nation.
If you want a system that somehow operates without a revenue stream, I think you'd have propose that to the people, and convince enough of them to form some other system of government. And you'd also have to prepare for war with the current government because they're not just going to go off into that goodnight.
They'll label you insurrectionists, seditionists, and traitors, and use the power of the military to put down what they see as your rebellion against the state. Just being honest about how this would play out.
