This is what I want to see more people do more of. Your Town/Village/City is run on taxes. Your taxes. Most people just pay their tax bills every year and complain and just forget about it until the next tax bill comes. Most people never really question it, research it, or do anything about it.
Two sure things in life: Death and Taxes.
Certainties aside, you can extend your life by living healthy, scheduling routine doctor visits, taking medicine, having surgery etc., and doing all that you need to do to take care of yourself. You pay attention to your health, you maintain it, and you change things if you find that what you are doing isn't good for you (hopefully you do.) You wouldn't sit there with a broken leg and say "Eh....it happens....just gotta deal with it." You would try to "fix it".
