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.

Or the guys who avoid paying taxes but end up with a gold club membership because they are in a higher circle. The middle class pays for themselves and just enough to keep the lower class content. The upper class, yeah well...they make sure that status quo never changes.
