Oh you're one of those. The arrogance is astounding. You never been a country which overly taxes it's citizens and squanders the gains on bureaucracy and monetary black holes? Grow up, your ideological blind spots are making you look like a fool.

Perfectly describes Australia, indeed. Note how I'm not saying that taxes should be higher and should be "squandered on bureaucracy and monetary black holes", so I'm not sure if I really am one of those.

The world is not black and white, contrary to popular belief.
