Libre Office gives an air of smugness like the one that you get from <insert minority here> rights movement, or from vegans and other super ecofriendly people.

Fascinating how you manage to insult minority rights movements, vegans, "super ecofriendly" people and Libre Office contributors in one sentence :-/

Interestingly, the first year the new ID cards were issued in Belgium, there was also a shortage of readers in police departments. If you had a new ID card, you were required to keep a printout of the data with you in case the police requested your ID :-) (it wasn't that bad though; the only information on the chip that isn't also on the front of the card, is your address)
The police have enough readers now, so it's not necessary anymore.

As my Belgian friend said, Belgium is the best example that a government isn't necessary.

But a near 70% income tax rate is still necessary to pay for ... what exactly?

Where did you get that idea? http://www.belgium.be/nl/belastingen/inkomstenbelastingen/particulieren_en_zelfstandigen/aangifte/vestiging_van_de_aanslag/index.jsp (in dutch, but the table should be clear)

The total income tax is always lower than 50%, and there are lots of situations where you get tax deductions...
