I was actually having a real quiet moment of thought last time I was sitting up in the mountains at Boulton Creek camping. And I was thinking how incredibly lucky we are to have the roads to access such a remote area, and the government funding to build such an amazing place.
Like anyone else, I wish I paid less tax, but the trade off of having incredible places to go, and to be able to live in an incredibly civilized and safe country is more than a fair trade off.
If the alternative to paying tax, is to live like a wild animal like one of these freemen, then I am glad to allow the government to take their cut.
