Not only the sheer number of taxes but the % levels are continually increased.
Think about a 30% income tax. You get a raise, government gets more. when times are tough you take a pay cut and... government increases the percentage.
A govenment on a fixed percentage has the incentive to increase the prosparity of it's citizens. As you can see there is no such incentive in place.
Not to mention higher income people pay higher amounts (as well as higher percentage) yet they receive less benefits.
Worst yet are these "hidden" corporate taxes that you pay in higher prices. No business should be taxed, businesses have no rights, can't vote and therefore can't protect themselves.
There should only be a fixed percentage income tax, no other taxes. If you get too much taxes you see it on your pay stub and the citizens roll a gallows in front of city hall to let the politicians know they went to far.
