Yeah, rather leave that money to the state who will spend it on actually useful things such as new wars that will make the military-industrial complex even wealthier. This kind of thinking unfortunately is common in continental Europe, particularly in Germany and France. This is not all about the common good or democratic legitimacy. It's really all about redistribution of wealth and getting back at "the rich". It's about slave-moral thinking that strives to punish the well-off and make everyone feel equally miserable.
