This is a terrible idea. Why? Because I own the right to my own life. Not my corporation. A tax says that the taxing body owns all of my income, and allows me to keep a certain percentage of it (in this case, 89%). That is bull****. I make my money, I get to keep my money, all 100% of it.
First, its not your life... it's a game.
Second, you don't own your isk (or other assest for that matter)... CCP does.
Third, you might want to be careful with that philosophy. Since taxes pay for various essential services, if you refuse to pay those taxes you should also be prepared to deal with doing without those services such as the police dept., the fire dept., public education for your children, equal protection under the law, the right to vote... shall I go on?
In game terms your NPC corp taxes primarily pay for Concord protection, and complete immunity from War Decs. If you would prefer to operate without Concord protection, perhaps CCP can work something out for you.

How stupid are you guys exactly?
So Furb, do you really think that those folks that are active and organized in the "great" NPC corps aren't going to now feel a little bit more incentive to get together and form a corp amongst themselves? Why would they consider forming a multitude of 1 man corps? That makes no sense what-so-ever.
What they will feel is one more good reason to properly organize themselves and step out on their own to finally experience the game to its fullest potental (with all of the inherent risks and rewards that entails). This or stay as they are in the NPC corp, but with an slight income adjustment to balance the near perfect safety they recieve. Staying in a safe NPC corp SHOULD be slightly less profitable than being in a riskier player corp. Risk vs reward.
The people that "will" get upset are the experienced players that hide thier high sec mission running alts in the noob corps, as it will cut into the only reason they are there... that being risk free profit.
