I am one of the fortunate people in my country who, if I add up all the taxes I pay, has had around 70% of my income taken by the state.

For every €100 net that I pay for something, I first had to earn €333.33. €233.33 goes to the state and €100 to the producer, without even taking into account that the producer then pays taxes again.

This is an absolute absurdity, the European Union is an absolute absurdity, and my living conditions get worse every day, and I certainly can't afford many luxuries.

How am I supposed not to hate the state? How am I supposed not to hate democracy?
