I don't know why ppl are always scared of paying taxes.
taxes are actually a great thing but only if everyone pays them and if they are spend on useful things only. Just look out your window and you will see lots of things paid with your taxes you use everyday.
People are not scared of taxes itself, what people are scared about is the fact or the possibility that it may be used in bad things. The possibility that someone who shouldn't will benefit through you efforts and use it for self privilege is annoyingly fearsome. Taxes nowadays are bigger and bigger but it's more than what we should really pay.
