@trade_commander_2498 You write your displeasure about taxes in every post. However, this is the reality in every country. If you are so
unhappy with it, you have to build a life somewhere else where you think there are fewer taxes.

@Iudicium But that's not the point!
The point is, as I described, that until some time ago I was happy to pay my taxes, so to speak. In the meantime, however, it feels like the equivalent value is no longer there. You are only asked to pay and what do you get out of it? What do the roads look like? What do the schools look like? How is it possible to build up assets if I give away 26.375% of every dividend? Extrapolate that over 10, 20 or 30 years? I save money that I pay tax on through my salary.

@trade_commander_2498 I feel your pain and everyone would find it better to pay less, but we in Germany are also the world champions of complaining.
Our roads are still very good compared to other countries in the world, even within Europe (of course there are better and worse places everywhere, but on average I feel pretty comfortable here :D)
I'm glad there are social security systems here, the alternative is high crime and a really horrible cityscape.
Educational opportunities are also plentiful and inexpensive.
Double taxation is everywhere and all the time, whether it's supermarkets, gas stations, vacations, so why not stocks, crypto and real estate...
Personally, I'm always pissed off when they deduct 1/4 from my profit / risk - I don't get 1/4 back on my loss either - but then I always think to myself: hey, getting 3/4 by "doing nothing" could be worse :)
In the end, I have to say one thing: the world is and always has been unfair. We're still doing really well, even if the good years are over. They were financed by foreign countries and at the expense of the environment and now there's payback :D

@Schnurze Yes, you're right and I see it that way in parts too. Thank you.
