Ideally, governments should collect taxes like honeybee, which sucks just the right amount of honey from flower so that both can survive.

Terrible analogy
- bees don't collect honey, they collect nectar and flowers have no need for it, they offer it free exactly to have the bee transport polen
- bees work all day, they don't have Sundays they don't have holidays, they don't get retirement
- male bees don't work at all, they benefit from the food and one of the lucky bastards has a fun time once in his short life
- queen bees are the only ones to get the royal jelly all their lifetime
- all dead bees are just thrown away out of the hive and forgotten

So, it doesn't get more despotic than that at all, and I'm sure every bee would love to pay taxes in the humaninstead of working in a hive.

Government is not after of what that will bring good for people, what Government is to accumulate their revenue,

Governments can't "accumulate" revenue, and it's really bad even for the worst of them if they would try this.
It means they will get fewer votes and then they would get thrown out of power and they would have no way to actually spend the amazed revenues, which is really really stupid. What bad governments do, which btw are still made out of people is spend less money on what's important for the people and more on things from which they can have a share of the money in bribes or profits, but no bad government would ever try to "accumulate" stuff.
