I understand peoples hesitation when it comes to government trust, but that means that we have a problem with our government and not taxes.

 

This is the problem. Look, the reason our forefathers put the government they did into place (a far cry from what we have today), is because people are corrupt. We need a system we can trust in, because we can never trust in people. This was the premise John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and the rest of our founders uses to form the constitution.

It was to protect the people from government, not to make a government that we look to for protection.

The more social programs we give government, the more power we give them. Power corrupts. Taxes is power.

Our forefathers would be rolling over in there grave if they knew what the country has become. Now most likely the next president will take it to an entirely new level.
