I am so sick of hearing people complain about taxes, and how the government shouldn't be taxing us. Boo frickin' hoo. You know what, you don't wanna pay taxes, fine! Stop paying! But you damn well better not want to use anything that's been provided or subsidized by tax dollars.
Here's what you do. First, stop driving. Those streets and highways are government projects paid for with tax dollars. And don't ride the train (or any other form of public transit). No planes either. Unplug that phone. Unplug that TV, that's a double whammy: electricity and public airways. No Internet. No hospitals. No drugs of any kind (that's right the Feds subsidze the development of all of them and keep the ones already in existence safe). Go, you're off the grid, and I don't want to see you again. We'll both be happier when you and your incessant whining are relegated to backwoods acreage someplace in Montana.
I, on the other hand, will keep paying my taxes. And I'll keep voting for the people who'll go to the Capitol and state house and spend it most efficiently and wisely. They're not "stealing" from me, as you'd have people believe. I'm paying my dues and usage fees for participating in this government which is constituted of, by, and for the people. And even if I have a problem with how some of those fees are spent, I believe my qualms can be addressed without overthrowing the system.
