If you compare counties with high taxes (Canada, Europe, Japan and the U.S.)
And countries where citizens pay no taxes (Cambodia, Afghanistan, and many poor African countries)
Couldn't an argument be made that paying taxes is patriotic and good for a country?

IMO if citizens of nations forced to pay taxes were REALLY civilized, they wouldn't need to be forced to pay taxes in the 1st place.
Instead, they'd use the money they make to better their society without being forced to hand that money over to a governing organization to do it for them (and have the government take a large cut of that money in the process).
Saying that people from Cambodia or Afghanistan aren't "civilized" only because they don't pay taxes ignores a vast number of other reasons why they live their lives differently from people in the USA or Japan who do pay taxes.
