If you want good roads... you pay taxes, if you want an honest police force/ law and order... you pay taxes, if you want fire brigade, defence force (that isn't about to take control of your country).. you pay taxes... If you want to reduce the amount you pay on Police, Fire brigade and defence force... you pay welfare (eg education, healthcare, housing, food and overseas aid... for those that don't have your good fortune) Every $1 you invest in welfare saves about $10 in each of the others, and if you invest it in kids before the age of 10 it's something like $1 saves $100... That is the price of living in society...  I don't mind paying tax so much, its the paying politicians that I dislike... they should be on a productivity based wage and if caught with their hand in the till it should be taken off with their head... BTW I paid tax to the USA this year something like 36c in the dollar... admittedly I only earnt $17 in royalties but that was came to about $5 in tax... so I only got $12... hey but I got a royalty check (actually a royalty EFT Notice ) Cheers All
