 Even asking this kind of question is taboo in some parts of society. 

Had a mate tell me at a wedding this year that "I am happy with how much tax I pay", he lives in the UK, "and I don't try and hide anything from the taxman like our other mate"

He really judged the person using limited companies to run their business, and be as tax efficient as possible

I wonder how he would respond to this framing...? I think one can make a very clear case that a modern, digitally enabled, serfdom is being built

67%... WTF! 

"But we get amazing paternity leave" is how another Norwegian friend of mind told me once. Is that enough to justify it? 
 Thx for your comment and zap 🧡

What we get back in terms of "services" is a big net negative. 
 Try explaining that to a government employee... 😅
