    Honestly I can’t believe anyone complains about their taxes being too high in the US.

      Sure, we don’t have 70% tax rates like some countries do, but the 30% taxes we do pay don’t actually do anything to improve our lives.

      I feel like it’s valid to complain about paying taxes into a system that doesn’t have any interest in making our lives better or longer.

      Also, we still spend that extra 40% in ridiculous health insurance and copayments.
