Is there a grammatical reason for people saying "I pay my taxes" instead "I pay the taxes"?

If we had a mandated wage that everyone got, regardless of job, that would mean a flat tax makes sense, in his defense.

Why would you pay tax at all in that scenario? For all salaries to be equal they basically must be doled out by the state, otherwise it implies employment, competition, markets, etc. so why would you need taxes as a system to begin with?
