I'll be a hundred and ten in the not too distant future, the old ship's got a few blotches, but she's still on course!

I love to pay taxes!

My money's used for beautiful, well-marked and smooth roads!
Children can go to school free of charge, but books are not free, to give them a feel for value and ownership.
If someone really suffers from being laid off, she'll get support, but not indefinitely. See, we all have to fight to stay alive.
To save money, the amount of regulating people working for the state has been reduced to an absolute minimum. If they deliver bad work, they can get fired, like in all businesses.
The tax amount is a mere 10 per cent of my income. Even this sum could be reduced further, as one politician announced recently.

Apart from all this, tax is used as an instrument to control the effectivity of economics, and to adapt economics to certain (eg environmental) requirements.

Ha, you might ask, on which planet do I live? On Utopia. A wonderful planet, it's even in our own solar system.
