> socialized health care is expensive

Socialized health care? There's no such thing in Switzerland.

Sure, health insurance is mandatory. No question that it's heavily regulated (i.e. basic insurance can't rule you out or discriminate against you for pre-existing conditions).

But socialized health care? Give me a break.

> like the ~20 page tax declaration that is due this month

The actual declaration is covered by 4 basic pages. In addition there's a declaration of assets and a couple of helper pages for deductions.

You can download tax declaration software for free (at least in the canton of Zürich) and using it for your declaration takes all of 20 minutes.

It may be a bit more complex if you own real estate, or if some other complexities are involved.

You either don't have a clue or you're massively over-exaggerating for reasons, which elude me.
