culture.
What's the point of charging taxes to everyone equally? Isn't it more logical to charge taxes based on consumption, like VAT? After all, there are masses of people, for example, who don't consume culture, and the budgets for that are sky-high.
The same goes for the radio fee that I pay every year in the test, even though I never use it. Why am I forced to participate in things that are not essential for the entire population, but for a certain segment, and everyone must participate?!

This was exactly the proposal of Prof. Ezra Zohar, who ran for the Knesset several times and did not get in. Indeed, it always sounded very logical to me, too, but there is apparently no example of this in the world. I don't know why. I can think of various reasons, but I haven't researched the issue in depth. For example, people who have a lot of money will only pay tax on what they spend (which for them is a small part of their wealth).
To your question at the end, you are forced to pay for the needs of a portion of the population in many areas, because the portion that needs it cannot always afford it, and the state nevertheless thinks that it is appropriate for this need to be met.
