"The key issue, as I understand it, is whether government can impose a tax or penalty for merely "existing"."

Challenge the income tax, sales tax, or any other tax you have to pay for "existing". A non-starter.

That isn't a particularly strong rationale. The government can make other requirements for merely "existing". Like having a SSI number. Or filling out a census form.
