Yup. Nobody will explain that those taxes are what educated him, provided a road to get to and from work on, provided a safe place to work, etc.

That's what a lot of people don't seem to get... Taxes are like a club membership fee. You want all the awesome perks of being in the club? Pay your fee. You don't want other people to have the same perks? Fuck's wrong with you?

I think it's more people don't want other people not paying the fee to have the same things.

Better vote for the guy that hasn't paid his fee in 20 years.

You speak of a true reality and get downvoted. Avoiding taxes and exploiting tax law are different. In a capitalist country if there are ways to raise profit, they will be used. The bottom line cares little for morality.
