I earn good money, but I pay 50% taxes on my income and another 20% VAT on almost anything I buy.

I'm okay with this, but don't try to tell me that I'm not paying for the privileges we all get to enjoy here.

High income earners are the net payers here who disproportionally pour taxes into the system, so everyone can take part in these subsidized schemes. How this basic concept eludes you is beyond me.
