    Just look at high tax countries, like Sweden, Finland, Norway. They are pretty functional, although not perfect, with pretty well-working social systems. Look at countries that are all about avoiding taxes like… the US. Look at the UK, and what Thatcherism did to it. Social services are falling apart, if still existing at all.

    Whoever says taxes are a problem, implicitly says schools, streets, firefighters, … should be privately owned. And guess who would be the private owners and what they are going to do with prices :)
