You seem to be in an especially optimistic state of mind today... :-P
I don't live on my own, quite the contrary. Together with nine million other people, I live in a country where I pay more to the state than I do to the company , whoose goods I'm buying. In general, my employer has to pay 14000:- if I'm to buy something that cost 5000:-. Most of it is thrown like pearls before the pigs. We pay 40 billion every year, for an army that is incapable of defending the country. We pay billions and millions, that is just wasted in beureaucracy.
I don't demand that I should be relieved of the duty of paying taxes, I demand that those money come to a proper use. If they're not put into proper use, then there is no point of paying it is there.
There are plenty of charities that could use the money better.
