Billag tax hack?

You know, this is a very “polish thing” to say, and I fully get it. This is however Switzerland. Direct democracy and the sense of community is of higher priority than individual rights or feelings. It was voted this way by the majority so it is right. This alone justifies the obligation. Comparison with China or Saudi Arabia is quite misplaced here.

I guess if you want to live in a peaceful democratic society, then you have to respect the fact, that democracy is a tyranny of the majority. One time a thing you support gets voted through, another time it’s the thing you oppose. A prime example of how stupid a majority rule can be is Brexit.

I don’t think it’s a “Polish thing”. Heard about this thing that’s going on in France, the so-called “yellow vests movement”? It’s the working class being taxed to the max by socialists. Of course, TV tax is child’s play compared to what they’re dealing with . But if the TV tax was 3000 CHF per year, then I don’t think people would be so quick to say “ahh come on, it’s just a tax, suck it up and pay it”.
