I hate taxes deeply. I feel through the rabbit hole of libertarian and anarcocapitalist ideas some years ago, and taxes have been repulsive to me ever since. I go to great lengths to not pay them, and feel deeply hurt everytime they sting my wallet.
I know life goes by fast, and what once was vivid in your memory fades away bit by bit until it's gone. I'm truly hoping that, some day in the future, the world will have changed to the better and young people won't be paying as much taxes as we're doing today in the West. Since in that bright, utopical future I'm dreaming of I might have forgotten about how bad things were in 2025, I've decided to make a little entry here making an estimate on how many taxes I'm bleeding on a yearly basis right now. So that we can someday look back in time and wonder: "how the fuck did we tolerate that pillaging".
## Inventory
Before going into the number, let's make a list of all the taxes I'm currently facing.
- Income Tax: for the sin of making money, the state takes some.
- Social Security: in Spain, you're forcefully enrolled in a pension system designed as a ponzi scheme (not ponzi-like: it's actually a ponzi scheme), with no way to opt out.
