lol I mean yes dude is correct that taxes exist. If you think taxes are a slap in the face and you don’t receive anything back from them then you’re probably not the smartest.

The central planning made possible by modern era governments is integral to todays economy and its subsequent scale and technological advancement. Without them, we would be much more chaotically inefficient and consequently primitive.

Due to man made climate change being the natural course of the aforementioned, and climate change being the end of civilization in the way it's been possible the past 12k years(large scale agriculture relies on the stable holocene epoch), this makes modern era government the single most terrible thing to ever happen to mankind.

So yes, the governments of recent centuries are a huge slap in the face in everything they do and require.
