Is the single mother selling arts and crafts outside of society then?

If anything this is the problem. No one thinks they should pay any taxes. Everyone basically wants to free roll the structures built from taxes without paying anything.

I am hardly rich but I gladly pay taxes. I would prefer to pay less but that is the reason I vote.

If you want to blow it all up then I think the counter to that is Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents.

I even might gain personally in that world but overall it is a miserable world to live at the systems level. It is better to just pay taxes.
