Fucking retards. YOU ARE ALL FUCKING RETARDS.
Without taxes, the roads you drive one, the water you drink and someone of you shower with, the electricity you get wouldn't be there. Sure water and electricity would but the cost would bankrupt everyone without support of the US. The schools that most of you got educated in, the colleges that some of you went to exist because of taxes we pay. Everything you take for granted wouldn't exist or would at outrageous costs.
Man you guys are retards. I don't agree as to why we spend over 20% of the tax money on the military though. That is the biggest waste. The cops, the firemen, the ambulances and yes prisons wouldn't be there. Do you think this is a better world for having prisons or not having them? Man you guys are a bunch of teen retards that have no clue how this world works.
rant over, meltdown completed.
Nobody is advocating no taxes. But the amount the government confiscates and what they do with our money is what drives people nuts. Remember the road to nowhere in Alaska? The millions spent on the study of bovine flatulence effects on the environment? I read about a program costing 2.6 million to discourage the use of alcohol by Chinese prostitutes while on the job. Charles Rangel got 2 million for a library commemorating his 37 years in office. Even things like the NEA, the National Endowments for Arts, does not merit tax payer funding. And I love art just as much as the next guy but I don't think it should be financed by truck drivers, teachers, welders, Walmart clerks... and all the other hard working Americans trying to keep body and soul together.
It should be noted that without our military we would not be the world leader. And many advocate that we shouldn't strive to maintain that leadership world. But don't think for a moment that if we lose that leadership role that another country wouldn't step up. And by the looks of things, the other countries waiting in the wings are Russia, China and North Korea.
The world is still a very dangerous place and still ruled by force. If not us, then who?
Which on do you want?
