The question was asked, if mennonites pay their taxes. A true mennonite does, pay his taxes. However, A mennonite in name only might try to cut corners or cheat.

The temple tax collectors asked Peter if his master
doesn’t pay taxes. Peter told them that he does.
Jesus told Peter to go down to the shore and throw in a line, and open the mouth of the first fish you catch. You will find a coin to cover the taxes for both of us; take it and pay them. Matthew chapter 17.

Jesus was asked if it is right to pay taxes to Caesar or not.
Jesus told them to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God. Matthew chapter 22.

A genuine mennonite looks at God's word for guidance. A liberal mennonite ( so called, mennonite. ) looks at the world and tradition for guidance.
