No. Services from the state are crap. Motorways and roads are crap. Healthcare is good but not free. A country with 11 million people and 8 parliaments.

People holding government jobs and on welfare would say "yes, definitely".

Government jobs like the people that takes care of mental illness, policemen trained to act in a thoughtful way, teachers, etc.

I'm happy to live in a country with high taxes and a good level of services for every one. To be in San Francisco, for example, was a sad experience. There was so much money and good people, but still you could see so much homeless people in the streets.

So you don't benefit at all from other people's taxes?

No, unless you have 10 children I guess. I was single at the time and basically it's a net loss compared to married couples with kids.

No.
