I feel like I'm in crazytown when I express distress about taxation - literally people forcibly taking away your property - and ppl act like I'm the crazy one. Sure, you could argue that this forcible theft is worth it, and I'll respect that, but it's still not crazy to be upset.

When we’re completely self-focused, it sure does sound crazy-making. Then we realize how much the government does and is responsible for and then it all makes way more sense. Is there dead-weight loss? Sure, but inefficiency is a given.

I am absolutely okay being self focused. I am 100% fine and proud expressing my boundaries and standing strongly for them. It's not bad to be upset with someone taking your money without your consent, even if they spend it inefficiently on "good" things.
