I understand that you're viewing human needs through the lens of taxation, but how do you feel about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (http://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html for reference)?

Yours would only cover the bottom level (and, implicitly security on the second level) of that pyramid. I'd be interested in your thoughts on how (or if) taxation creeps into relationships and the pursuit of self-actualization.
