I must say that I'm quite torn on tax - I hate it now I'm self-employed and into crypto, but I have one of the best pensions in the world to look forward to after 16 yrs in teaching, which is basically down to other people paying tax.
Of course that pension is only as secure as the British state.
Yeah, my level-headedness always tells me that all that I'm getting (healthcare, pension, education, safety) is just not affordable if I had to pay for it myself, so I'm from a 'pragmatic' perspective pretty much okay with tax. Indeed, as a freelancer I also realized how much tax I pay and that was less noticable when I still was an employee, but I decided I'm still not complaining. Almost every time I visit a different country then mine I'm in awe of how well arranged and good things are over here :-/ I'm perfectly fine with people following ideologies that say tax is stealing, I get the feeling, but sometimes theft makes for a pretty good life hehe :D
i've nothing against tax in principle - it's just a collective of money everyone has a say over. The problem is when democracy isn't effective, we don't really have any say over how it's spent.
Having said that quality of life does tend to be measurably higher in developed countries and if the opposite is TNCs dodging tax using tax havens I'll happily life with them!
