Taxes should be as high as necessary but as low as possible. Debt should be reduced by reducing government spending, not by higher taxes. I don‘t know where you get the idea that paying taxes somehow makes you more invested in politics. Switzerland has very low taxes and yet the whole political system is based on civic involvement with all but the top political offices being done by people as a sidegig rather than a career. Meanwhile Germany is a high tax country where most people are just fed up with politics and government because politicians are so far removed from civic society.
