So was having a little fun with math, calculating how much I work simply to pay my taxes.
If I work 5 days a week, over 1 and 1/3 days of that is spent earning money to pay taxes.
If I work 6 days a week, over 1 and 2/3 days of that week is spent earning money to pay taxes.
If I work 30 days in a month, over 8.1 days of it is spent earning money to pay taxes.
Interesting, no?
Actually it just makes me cry a little. Today Im going to work. The ENTIRE 10 hour day will be worked TO PAY TAXES.
Hurry up and grow up, kiddies, ya gots to pay your taxes!

they will never know
It's quite sick really.
I wouldn't want to change it, though. I like the perks this give. Like my free university education.
I very much prefer paying a high percentage of my salary instead, while knowing that other also will have the benefits I've had for those money. If I ever start to complain about paying taxes I should be shoot for hypocrisy. I've most certainly experienced the benefits of this system already.
