I don't like this idea. You say it's totally out of free will (not forced), so what do people gain from it? You can't say "i'm not gonna protect you, since you didn't pay tax", since that is the same as forcing people to pay you. So, you're gonna have to protect everyone, meaning that the people who do pay, get the same kind of protection as the people who don't pay. Since you're busy protecting people either way, the tax system would just be an easy way to obtain credits, for doing the things you're already supposed to do.

What i understood from the time i played freelancer is that either Liberty or Rheinland (or both), are very corrupt. So if people have to pay for their protection, it would be kind of mafia like; prices going up and up until the said person can't pay it anymore, and either the mafia kills him/her or the pirates do.

No, it's perfectly fine the way it is. Everyone works for their own credits.
