This is an interesting take, and I never viewed taxes as ethical or not. I however would not call taxes parasitic, as they are used to finance healthcare, education, culture etc. So there is a give and take, like in a symbiotic relationship.
I think we consider it parasitic whenever we are already struggeling financially, aren’t convinced the money is spent well by the government or feel above the government due to societal status.
Where I am personally unhappy with taxes is regarding certain goods fresh food, womens hygene products etc. - essential every day items. After the pandemic these things became somewhat pricey. However, I am not sure reducing taxes on food would be financially sustainable and a state that is bankrupt is the worst possible outcome.
I wanted to say more and adress more points, but I am too tired and can’t really express as well, so I’ll cut this short right here :)
German military is so comitted, it’s cadets have to yell “pewpew”, because there are no bullets.
No. This is not a joke. Google it.
