Yes, also Fascism, and Communism. Capitalism unaffected.

Capitalism unaffected? Shocked

Taxes may be overspent and spent on wrong subjects, but people(myself included) never really want to pay for stuff that everybody (but not themselves specifically) benefits from and survives with. That's taxes for me.

Taxation for the good of all is not a capitalistic ideal. Why it exists in capitalistic societies is beyond me--well, that's a lie. Most of it is spent of frivolous BS, such as SS, war, and the very people who propagate the tax (after all, a government worker is paid by the government, who gets its paycheck from taxation. Ergo, those who make a living off tax, will always support tax.) There is nothing tax pays for that could not be paid for by the individual. Hell, even with taxes, you're still boned out of your cash; not only do I pay an officer's salary, I pay for him to give me a tickets and/or to take me to jail. Wicked! I always wanted to pay for someone to punish me.
