Tax whiners ought to live in other nations where it's far worse- roads must be paved, trash must be taken out, nuclear subs must be built, and false wars based on lies about weapons must be fought- this takes real money and taxation is necessary. . .our 'founding fathers' (overrated term) didn't conceptualize these changes but built a system that has some flexibility to change with the times to survive. . .wait, "change with the times to survive"?- that sounds like EVOLUTION, oh no!! You mean we didn't 'intelligently design'? Anyways, the waste in the tax system is a serious irritant but does not override its neccesity. . .running the free world takes your money- pay up. I do and I live a pretty damn good lifestyle. . .
