> For the level of service offered by the Belgian government, I would argue the tax burden is quite high

I live in another EU country, and I agree.

It's difficult for me to see institutions such as healthcare fall apart while the government is taking a large amount of my salary from my employer and myself every month.

One of the biggest reasons I struggle with it is lack of transparency. Something as simple as a quarterly breakdown of what my money is being spent on along with a feedback form would make it much easier to cope.
