People like to complain about taxes here, a lot, but where would we get the standard of living without it? Seems there is a disconnect. In the US, where, by the way, you pay quite a lot of tax still, you can end up living in a box or get worse health treatment even then. We do not get things for free: we pay taxes for it. It can be lower because we could cut corruption and inefficiency but it would still be a lot and people will still cry in forums.
