I envy this guy for living in a country where you can say things like that:

The reason I bring this up is because our taxes are very high, but I get something for that money. It might not be the perfect system and there are lots of things about it that make me furious, but I do not see a reason why I would want to stop paying taxes.

That must be one heck of a feeling. Gives me hope for the future.

It's not that unusual is it?

I hate the politics of my country (the UK) but it's not like I think stopping paying taxes would be a good idea. They cover roads, a social safety net, the nhs and so much else.

And I'm not exactly left wing.

That quote makes it clear he really doesn't understand where his tax money goes.

So what sorts of horrible, unbelievably terrible things do you think are being done with his tax money that would cause him to reject the tax rate if only he knew?
