Really, there are people - and I've met some - who think that the only 
way to have a 'fair' world is for taxation to be 100% and you get given 
back [what the State decides] you need.

Oddly these are all people who don't have big salaries or a lot of 
education. Apart from the ones wanting to *run* the system and get more, 
because they are educated.

More moderate versions are called 'socialism' and include things like 
government (taxpayer) funded roads, railways, healthcare, bus services, 
schools, public parks, museums and art galleries, ballet opera and 
theatre. To name a few.
And only 50% taxation.....
