Paying taxes is the price we pay for living in a civilized society. Those who work hard don't often make the money that those who work less hard do.
Paying taxes for a decent school system is the way to insure that you will have an informed populace who are able to make intelligent choices when they vote. A good education should not be just for the wealthy. A true democracy is where everyone benefits, not just a selfish few.

Those who are successful in business in the US owe it to their government who supplies them with decent roads to drive on, safe streets when the police are supported through taxes, an adequate postal service and many other amenities that are taken for granted.
