Although some taxes are valid, other s simply do it because they can. The legality in a lot of circumstances is rather shady, but unfortunately that s how it is. The plus side is that there are more taxes at least that I personally believe are beneficial to society and needed for things that people have mentioned in their answers, so at least some positive comes out of it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
