That legislation is achieved through democratic means does not make it moral. You have neatly described what "illegal" means, but "immoral" is a different issue.
One could also argue that, since the system is so inherently flawed and manipulated by immoral interests, and not feeding it being the only way a person can really make a difference, not paying taxes is a righteous civil disobedience aimed at bringing what is immoral to morality.
You could come up with endless justifications.
It is illegal. But whether it is immoral is a subjective issue.

Conscientious Objectors make their stand, but are prepared to go to jail for their beliefs. Witness Muhammad Ali.
