But that's not what sticking it to the man means. It's someone who says "haha, govmint! You ain't getting my money 'cause I'm off the grid!"
It's true, tax brackets don't take regional costs of living into account. But I'd still bet any increase in taxes would be less than a monthly premium (which can be $500 for a single person, and goes up from there, with the average cost for a family of 4 being $13,000/yr. I can think of a lot of things a family of 4 could do with 13 grand a year, even if they paid 15% of it in taxes.)
