I am of a similar opinion. We are already taxed a ridiculous amount, and have absolutely no say in how that money gets spent. In fact, I've even made constructive suggestions about how people should be allowed to at least pick the ratios with which each section/budget of government their taxes go to. And then, seeing everything from wasteful wars, to corruption, to useless government "projects" and "committees". Meanwhile, there are so many people starving and dying on the streets, being murdered and assaulted, and dying in preventable car accidents, amongst many other things. I honestly can not take a state seriously that simultaneously wants to guilt me into paying more of my "fair share" because 'think of the poor', while on the other hand it doesn't fix the basic, universal needs of our society, including the poor. It's hypocrisy, and I refuse to be double-taxed, or blamed for lack of social-program funding. Sorry for the rant. But I live in a society where 90% of the population pays no income tax at all as they're under the lowest "progressive" taxation bracket.
