To frame it in a libertarian context :

I would assume that if you live on someone’s land, you would agree that their property rights mean you must pay rent, otherwise you must move.

The government is sovereign over the the land of the nation. If you live there, you must pay “rent” in the form of taxes. You aren’t respecting the property rights of the nation otherwise. You can always move.
