If you say you're not happy with taxation in your country, the politicians are quick to judge you as "selfish" or even "enemy of the poor".
This is a trick to try to turn reality on its head. Let's disassemble this lie!
This is a distillation of the main points from a blog post I wrote - I recommend you read the whole blog post, but you can use this note as a preview!

The state claims to exist for the poor and the weak, but in reality all they have is a giant resource-destroying machine. Real time, money and energy is being expropriated from real people.
A large part of those resources gets ground to nothing. A worse scenario is that those resources don't go "for nothing", but get used for actively bad purposes - perhaps even for murdering people.
Even when the resources are not used for evil purposes, there are people actively benefiting from them being "wasted". Don't mistake all of it to just be incompetence!
When you opt out of this system or even speak out against it, the proponents of this machinery will loudly judge you as an enemy of the poor. Be careful not to fall into that trap!
But what if everyone opted out of the system? Clearly that wouldn't be any kind of solution for the poor who really are in need of help. How do we solve this?
The details are beyond the scope of this post, but they have been described in an excellent way by Titus Gebel in his book Free Private Cities: https://free-cities.org/free-private-cities-third-edition/
In a nutshell: all societies have always had systems to help the people in need. They haven't always been perfect, but neither is the current system. We can do better!
All we need to do is look back in history to find examples of what worked before the government decided to "help". They've just hijacked systems that worked quite well before without any violent intervention.
It is important to note that artificially supporting the current system isn't a "moral good". Sacrificing your life energy for a dysfunctional system isn't a moral act, it is just waste.
The only morally questionable act is supporting these systems. They are starting to resemble the ideas that the Soviet Union was built on.
Those ideas weren't bad because they were implemented in a wrong place - they simply do not work, period. You can't wait for the politicians to get this though. No one is coming to save you - you need to act!
