Why would a desire to pay less tax on your part influence a government’s misappropriation of the public purse?

That’s what voting is for surely?

Abuse of taxes is not a party-specific issue. Until laws are passed to prevent this (which is probably a multi-decade lobbying effort), it will re-occur. In the meantime, it's probably reasonable to be sour about paying taxes when it's subject to this practice by the receiver.

Voting only works if there are good options out there. If both options are equally crooked, there's no solution.
