Oh come on, I barely go a day without hearing someone whinge about taxes in this country.
Perhaps if people weren't so politically apathetic we *could* have things like NHS, the Shinkansen, 35 hour work weeks, etc.
35 hour work weeks? LOL. I work about 60, and it's not a big deal. I actually enjoy it. Check out the implosion of once great nations like England, France, Germany, and Spain since they resorted to letting their citizens live on vacation. They now are permantly at the teet of the U.S.
I will pay for my government to build a military. I will pay for roads, phone lines, sewage, electrical grids, oil exploration, etc.
Beyond that, there is basically no need for our governmen to collect anything further from its citizens. Everything government has ever touched has gone bankrupt (Fannie, Freddie, Medicare, Social Security, US Postal Service, etc, etc, etc)
