Some truth to that, the takeover of the mind by the government has never been high on my list of good things, and interference in family business is absolutely horrendous, there are exceptions, but most of the nosiness is definently unnecessary. I am not a big brother lover as some on this forum have projected, I am also of the opinion that less government is better, but we still need to provide a healthy, lawful, environment for our children, that takes some form of government. I believe, in a society as affluent as this, that through taxation, we should fund health care and security for every Citizen. Some would assert that it is the individuals responsibility to provide for their own welfare and then deny them the right to rob or steal to make that happen, for that is what they call it when taxpayers pay for their care! Yet by hoarding and cheating on their taxes, the well off are in fact stealing from the society at large. The progressive tax is the only fair form of funding a complex society and serving up fairness, even if the minority doesn't approve. As for my own personal situation, let me have my earned retirement, my VA medical and leave me the fuck alone! I paid Income tax forover 50 years, I've paid social security taxes for the same period, Hell I even paid all the bullshit taxes on my businesses, do I regret it, no, Didn't like it at the time though. You see, this is a fact: No-one likes to pay taxes, It's like paying for an intangible, you can't see any product and when you think about the product, you don't even like it! If I could control where my taxes went, there would be no war money coming from me, I'd stop paying salarys for politicians, Make it a charity position. It's a long list of where the money wouldn't be going! I'm sure everyone has their choices, but most on this site wish they could pay none. That is sad to not want to help the less fortunate. I'm sure their Christian "Values" are shining brightly! In fact one whom shall remain nameless, has even suggested not paying taxes was what Jesus meant when he said: "Render unto Ceasar.......................".So Sad!!! It just goes to show that any fool can take the Bible and construe his own meanings, like yes means no and no means maybe etc.
