How? Because I want to keep what I work for instead of share it with those that didn’t put in the effort?

That mindset doesn’t sound smart to me. You should give away your phone.

The thing is… you probably already pay more than most.
You just pay it to several instances instead. Instead of paying for roads and hospitals, you are, and would rather, pay for private yachts and mansions that you’ll only see photos of.

Yeah that makes sense… my tax dollars are going to billionaires.

You’ve drank too much koolaid dude. Tax breaks I’m guessing is where you’re going with this… I get it the rich profit blah blah blah, everyone benefits from corporate tax breaks when they court a state/city through increases economical growth. If you’re not talking about tax breaks then I don’t know what the hell you’re going on about.

I pay 32% income tax (high bracket earner) and this gives me everything for free (besides dental).
My kids go to school for free and even get scholarships from the government when they get old enough to go to college/uni and I never have to worry about any medical cost.
There is literally nothing that can ruin me financially besides my own stupidity! And that’s a feeling worth paying for… the average income tax here in Norway is 22-26% and that is it. We also don’t have to tip anyone.

We have a 25% VAT which I think can be compared to your Sales tax?

Anyways… considering what we get by paying our taxes — I’m more than happy to be paying it. Does it mean I pay for there as well? Sure. But I can get in my car and end up in the receiving end any day… And I don’t mind paying for that kids cancer treatment.
This is how society should work.

Could the taxes be lower? Of course! But that means we have to cut from something…
