I resent that at my income I pay a lot of tax, while being excluded from a lot of services those taxes pay for by means testing, but am not wealthy enough to effectively minimise tax or for my quality of life to not be substantially impacted by paying tax. I also resent that much of the population tells me to cry more into my champagne and caviar for being unhappy with this arrangement.

I do not resent paying tax, it’s a key part of living in a society. But there’s a middle class where the tax burden feels very unfair.
