That article should make you happy. I, on the other hand, am very disappointed.
Taxes suck.
You trivialize my view. Civil society has material and strategic needs. A government, by and for the people, sets the strategy and goals for our country. Taxes are the lifeblood of implementing policy.
It is our country and we should support it in the same manner we support our family.
There is no shortcut or magic solution to this.
Nobody likes to pay taxes from a purely selfish point of view, but the continuity of the USA depends on those tax dollars.
It is one's patriotic duty to support his country not just in words but in deeds as well.
There's a lot wrong with governmental waste. That can be fixed. Eliminate corporate influence and lobbyists by revamping campaign financing and we'll see some results pretty quickly.
