I am also not really hopeful, but guess the fault is more with the politicians setting agenda /
formulating the topics voting for new jobs for themselves. Lokking at Switzerland shows sometimes astonishing restraint.

>I used to think that way until my accountant told me to think of it differently: paying more tax means you're doing OK and have a better life than somebody who pays no tax. It's true. If people want to feel aggrieved they should focus on the legions of parasites earning (taking) vast sums by shifting $ around. That's no possible use to society and we're idiots for putting up with it.

Still, the idea that 10% for the king was enough rankles...
