Maybe taxes should be the same. I don't mind being taxed as much as I hate my taxes going to the wrong thing.

  Now, find out if you agree with 10 random people about what is the right or the wrong thing.

  This is unfairly downvoted but strikes at the core of the matter. Democracy is fundamentally oppressive of a minority (and often majority). A vote in favour of a government to fund "basic research" (as it is generously described) is fundamentally not a vote to fund basic research, but rather a vote to expropriate wealth from a group that doesn't want it to be financed in order to finance it.

  In California, your taxes are mostly earmarked for k-14 education, and the legislature can't change that.
