I struggle to think of paying 40% tax as my contribution to society.
(Thinking about it I am not really sure what my contribution is, which seems a bit shit.)
I resent paying the amount of tax that I do, as i feel it is not being put to good use.
I could afford to pay more tax and would love to, if I could feel it was being put to good social use as seems to work so well in many Scandinavian countries where a lot of my friends have a far better standard of living.
I envy their life style and I guess a part of that is the amount of tax they pay.
