I disagree with tax & rent being lumped together. I have no problem with my (high) tax rate as it supports education, infrastructure, etc. The outrageously inflated rent goes to the same guy that stole 95% of your pizza in the first place.

While I agree in principle, when tax dollars go to corporate tax cuts, handouts to failing financial institutions, and billionaire lunatics selling snake-oil space-based internet "solutions", its easy to get disillusioned about taxes.

We absolutely should be taxed to a high degree, but that money needs to be spent on collective benefits, not private corporate interests.
