I am very disappointed in this thread. I came here expecting advice on how to pay less tax into the broken tax and spend system of a typical European government.

Indeed, because our governments seem to have started a scrounging lazy git religion.

It's not that I mind paying tax it's the fact that I have no say in what it gets spent on that grips my tulip.

Well there´s that, but what really gets to me is that however much we pay (52% above 60k euros here), it's never enough and our governments get us into deeper and deeper tulip by always spending more than the taxpayer can raise. That's why I understand the tax dodgers; they're just sick of throwing good money after bad, but they've got the means to partially avoid that.

I totally agree, they preach living within your means yet that's never taken into account as they squeeze more and more out of you. This tax dodger rhetoric is just a distraction from how bad things are and also to appease the fickle mob.

The trouble is that government have bought into a definition of living within your means which is more along the lines of trying (and often failing) not to borrow more than you can afford the repayments on. Broadly speaking it's this misguided behaviour they are preaching, and encouraging with policy, not actually living within ones means.
