    Governments collect tax to make its economically unsustainable operations (military, bureaucracy, judiciary, education, sanitation, infrastructure and other public services) tick. How the funds are spent is not necessarily made transparent to the general public.

    Even the most efficient governments have high taxes, but they spend them well and to the benefit of its citizens. You can tell by careful and transparent spending, good roads, good health service, education etc.

    Toll roads are one way of keeping them efficient and relatively free of heavy traffic, but even here with different results from country to country. And then, there are countries like Germany with many toll-free expressways.
