Money is used to acquire all forms of physical energy that you need to survive. It is important, but should not be worshipped.
Our current reality in terms of taxation is surreal:
Unless you are self employed or independent contractor, when person A pays person B money via a paycheck, taxes are automatically and forcefully siphoned from the paycheck. Or when person A buys anything from person B, taxes are automatically siphoned. The list goes on for a long time.
Every time you interact with a person monetarily, there is a metaphorical parasite siphoning a significant portion of your meta-energy. The system has been set up in such a way that this is the default state. It is forceful and the money is being used for evil things and growing the parasite itself.
People with guns take you to jail if you do not pay the tax at the store or don't let them steal your income.
The abhorrent action is so ingrained and normalized in society that most people are numb to it. So the parasite goes on siphoning energy from the cattle without any contention.
If people were allowed to write reviews for the services rendered by the government of their country, it would be overwhelmingly 1 star.
"So this guy, he punches me in the face and takes like a third of my money every year, and says it's for my own good. Then he uses it to kill, brainwash, stalk innocent people. He does this every single year by the way. I cannot cancel this subscription. If I don't give him the money he'll throw me in a small room and strip me of my right to freedom of movement. This service is horrible, it is an insane hellscape."

I like how you put it.
