This is nonsense. Plenty of people could avoid paying more tax than they do, but choose not to go down that path because they believe in complying with the spirit of the law and in contributing fairly to the system. Many also vote for left wing parties, who traditionally believe in higher taxes and better funded public services, because they believe it to be (not necessarily in the personal financial interest, but) the good of society.
