I'm with birger on this one. I'm happy to pay taxes - they are the price we pay to live in a civil society, and I for one, am grateful that I do. I may not always approve of how the government apportions it, but I have the right (and in Australia, the obligation) to vote agaisn them if I don't. I'm happy with that version of democracy.
And the bonus, if I'm paying a lot of income tax, I must be earning a lot of income! Joy and prosperity is shared! :-)
Joy to you all
Hazel
