We both are more or less correct. It's just important to not forget about the good things the tax system brings. You might live in a country where the most or at least some things stated by you are true, but the things you have said are the things you think about, maybe more than you should. The things you think about can have and most likely has a massive impact of your well being. The things you can change are the ones that have the biggest impact on you, so I suggest focusing on them.
Your thoughts shape you and often impact the way your life goes. Take care of yourself!
