A quarter that does not include healthcare or other benefits, which probably suck out another 20% of what they could have made if health coverage wasn’t tied to employment and has high co-pays and other costs.

Admittedly, a lot of taxes are misspent but a quarter of your income seems a bargain.
For example, I imagine getting to your jon would be really difficult without roads. Or a semi functional legal system that stops people from just robbing your business whenever they feel like it. Or a system that enforces contracts and property rights.
I’ve had a job where I didn’t pay taxes. It didn’t end well.

I agree with everything you’re saying, except my john is just down the hall…so when we’re going, we don’t need roads
