That is the point. The taxes are reality, you are going to pay them. Whether they are evil or not depends on what that money is used for.

"Reach into your pocket" makes it sound as if they're stealing from you. Which, if you live in the USA, is mostly true.

In functioning democratic societies those taxes pay for things that benefit the citizens. At least that is the stated goal, and if they fuck it up, they get voted out.

I think you guys need to start voting with your bullets.
