It's not the paying taxes that's annoying, it's what we get in return that hurts.

Why should I have to pay bus or subway fare? Why is the only reason I have fantastic healthcare because I am gainfully employed?

Well you see running public transport and trains at a loss is socialism, but pouring billions into roads only to increase congestion so suburbanites can get into the city and effectively paywalling life with a need for a car is Freedum.
