I’m more or less forced to, how I wish I could pay it just like another bill rather than some complicated guess-and-file game.
I also want the government to give me an itemized list, to a reasonable extent, of where my taxes are going. As a thought exercise, I added “taxation theft” to my yearly budget, which I currently calculate as over a third of my taxes. That’s my best estimate of the taxes I’m paying to bomb innocent civilians halfway across the globe, among other uses I would not approve of.
I wish I lived in a country that takes better care of its taxpayers so I wouldn’t have to care about the tax I pay.
Australia does an itemized list. It’s not very detailed but I appreciate it. The biggest expenses are aged care and health IIRC. Meanwhile everyone is demonizing the unemployed who get a pittance.
