As a percentage of GDP, Switzerland's taxes are lower than Canada and only a little higher than the USA, which themselves are relatively low, contrary to the "We're being taxed to death!!!" screaming.

I have already covered this. Even if they tax their citizens 100%, the money which is required for the handouts ($ 188 b) can't be raised.

And you should also add into equation that there will be a halving of Switzerland population once this goes through.
There are enough countries out there with nice mountains snow and chocolate without stupid taxes in which you can move.
