Not true. It makes me feel really demoralised when I see how much tax I pay......especially when it's proportionally more than a lot of other people, just because I manage to earn more money. It makes me feel like the govt is only there to take from me and give me bugger all back.
(Then the council takes their pound of flesh, both private and business rates (don't get me started))
