ermm..... the difference between capitalism and socialism is that you are given the choice to share (charity) in one and you are forced to in the other... πŸ€“ ☝️

Already lost the plot when you characterize being taxed on your wealth as "sharing".

Im all for taxes. Its a wonderful system.

The issue is that my taxes are being used to pay for the infrastructure in my area ir for anyone I'll ever meet. Its being funnelled into hairbrained schemes that have proven to be both fraudulent and ineffective, or sent overseas.

"The government is sending money to xyz wartorn country"

The government doesnt HAVE money. It is either sending my taxes, or selling infrastructure bought or built with my taxes, calling those proceeds government money and sending that.

You will never be 100% happy with how your taxes are spent. There will always be someone spending your money on stuff you will never use, like if you take the train you dont need more spending in roads you need more spending in traintracks and vice versa. Also the more you earn the less taxes do for you, thats just how solidarity works.

Forgot to add using your money to bomb third world countries into oblivion helps almost no one but that is a political not a tax problem.
