It is not your revenue. While you contribute to the overall accumulation, assuming you pay income and property taxes, the revenue collected is public assets. Meaning it is no longer attached to individuals, but is purposed for common gain.

No individual directs the spending of that revenue.
This is a common misunderstanding used by those who don’t comprehend the difference between individualism and commons.
Like when an person tells a bureaucrat that they pay their salary so therefore they are bureaucrat’s boss.

That’s not how it works. Each citizen forfeits any claim to the money they pay as taxes. It’s no longer theirs, but belongs to the state. Regardless of the social status of the individual who pays tax, the money no longer belongs to them.
Tax dollars belong to the Crown who then decides where the money is spent.
Individual citizens do not independently direct expenditures of commonly held assets. For example, you don’t send firemen to homes to fight fires. That’s a public service entirely controlled by the govt.

You don’t provide performance reviews for bureaucrats, their managers do. You don’t train teachers how to perform their jobs, publicly funded universities do.
You no longer own tax dollars, & you don’t direct how they are spent other than electing who makes those decisions.
