    I live in Europe, so most of my income goes to the state.

    Paying that much is not a problem, if it actually was used to improve living conditions of those less fortunate.

      I’m in Belgium which is probably worse than much of Europe in terms of taxation, and the only issue I have with the high taxes I pay is that there are way too many loopholes for the people earning a lot to avoid paying. So the strongest shoulders do not bear a proper amount of weight.
