I don't like to pay taxes but I can call an ambulance if I need it and I can be cured for free, I can enjoy curated parks, beaches and museums and I can take the metro which gets liquidity injection from the government every year. I'm sure a good chunk of my taxes goes wasted in bureaucracy, theft and inefficiencies, but stretching to call this a mafia scheme is exaggerated in my opinion, from someone who lives in a mafia-dense environment.
