It’s always talked about in the media as if everyone cares, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a normal person complain.

    The bulk of my salary depends on the company I work in and my boss’ decisions

    I have a much higher ability and chance to change that, compared to changing the tax system.

    Taxes are just a fraction of my salary, and they supposedly also cover for my future pension. Meanwhile, most of my taxes pays for state jobs for essential services, such as schools and healthcare. Others pay for debt interests, for money that was used to invest in the country or pay said services.

    Sure, a part of it is bad management and ill intentions, but that’s such a small portion of my salary. Depending where you live, you might be paying some vere generous retirement plans, but most of the retirement money goes to old people who would otherwise require help from their family.

    So no, I don’t really care about my taxes. If I feel I don’t have enough money, there are other things I can do than complaining about them
