"by the people" you mean the government they're not on your side. Also you were paying for it inderectly through the ridiculous taxes without even realising it. And the situation would be better if it wasn't an overegulated industry

We're not the same culture. The taxes I pay are OK for the services I, and others, get for them
-
If it was voluntary and a flat amount it would be fair, you might like it because it benefits you but it's completely ridiculous for a billionaire who doesn't event want to use these insufficient services
-
Billionaires have zero income, and they find other ways to not pay taxes. Some even "move" to Switzerland, and only stay there enough to not be forcibly moved out of Switzerland and back here.
They still use our services, though. Roads, trains,, ferriesz airports etc

And it should be that way but some people want to change that because they're selfish. Most billionaires still pay around 1% tax which is way more money than your average person paying 50%. Also it depends on the place but tax heavens like the islands in the Caribbean don't really have public infrastructure ( since ther's no tax) so it's perfectly fair. And if they visit or do business in a high tax country they're still paying sales tax or inderectly contributing to income tax through creating more/better job opportunities
