No he's right.
15% of my pay is income tax. Some percentage is also payed as social security. Basic healthcare insurance is payed by my employer.
I'd say about 24% of my monthly wage is going to the state.
A quarter of my pay to save my life, educate me, keep the roads maintained and provide me with security (police, firefighters, rescue services, army) is an outrages amount of tax. I feel abused.

I had to take loans out for law school, to pay for some of it anyways, parents could not handle it all but that is fine.Yes, student debt is common, part of it.Nothing is free as said, so your education is not free, just someone else is picking up the tab.

Student debt is uncommon here.
Someone else pays the tab ?? Yes, it's called a taxpayer and it's also called an investment into the future. Highly educated workforce makes more money and pays more tax. Plus, to understand why we're not complaining by paying taxes for education and healthcare of others you have to understand something called SOLIDARITY.
And what do we get after slaving away at our job to pay those taxes ??
A well educated workforce that is dept free and can start a future without feeding the banks first.

Less people make less money for the state. We're playing this game on a bit higher difficulty.
