To clarify, I'm only advocating that "the price for living in a civilization" not be hidden from those who must pay it.
Look at it this way: Taxpayer awareness is a cost to the government. If they could reduce or eliminate that awareness, they could raise more taxes.
I don't think it makes me a right wing radical to suggest that there should be a hurdle or two for the government to jump before they can raise taxes.
