Taxes which are used wisely for the people’s benefit is not a wasteful thing. That was the point original commentator made.

Your reasoning is that taxation is always bad and the more you pay the worst, a very American view which I can understand given how badly US government spends money in this regard.

I made no such reasoning. The parent comment wrote about taxes like its something bad.

It didn't just say tax, it suggested what the taxes were for, and how they were levied.

If we're all going to be persnickety about things, let's use the whole context.

Still doesn't make sense. How are tariffs "subsidising" corruption? What does that even mean?
