Well that's what I meant. You have no particular wish to pay taxes. You wouldn't mind stop paying them. You would mind stop having sex though. I'm talking about motivations that can't be shut off and don't need to be taught to every new kid, because you are born with them. We need to somehow harvest them to make working together attractive.
I would argue that all successful policies somehow come down to the fact that people want them in place. In that regard, taxes are clearly a failed experiment. You cannot force people to do anything (not for long, not forever as we can see from history). The only really effective law, is the one that people love to obey.
