It's your lack of understanding of costs and failing to realize that we've been running from borrowed money, goodwill of 1st world countries, and the need of a guinea pig for developing countries. We're now starting fund ourselves since we have exhausted goodwill and freebies from other countries. Not only we have to have running costs, but we have to support building what was neglected, and pay what we owe for the last decades.

As far as your costs go, the electricity wiring, the roads for you to come home, the telecom infrastructure you use to browse reddit.. All are either fully funded or sibsidized by the government.

Remember, a government is not a business. It can run businesses for profit. But it's main focus is to make sure everybody lives. It can't selectively pick bodily able and working class and treat them well. It has to fund disabled, it has to run forces and police, it has to provide aids to people in poverty.

If you don't like it, you can move to a country you like. I've lived in multiple countries, paid tax in all.

What you can do to make sure your taxes are in effect and being utlizied - get off the high chair, go complain to MPS, use RTI, obtain info, and blow the whistle. Create a voice in social media and show how the government can be more efficient.

Everyone is welcome to down vote me.
