| whatever said: Wow, after the patriot act, DMCA, guantanamo bay, illegal wiretaps, etc. Your actually trying to make the argument that paying higher taxes is a freedom issue? That's just plain crazy. In case you hadn't noticed, the world is going to shit. Sacrifices need to be made. For poorer people, this can mean joining the military and putting your life on the line (a large majority of enlisted men are from the lowest tax brackets). For rich people, this means parting with some of your "hard earned" money. Who do you think has benefitted the most from all of this deficit spending that has caused us to have over 10 trillion dollars debt? It ain't poor people. So suck it up, its time to make some sacrifices and pay back some of that debt.

Where did I say I didn't want to pay taxes to pay off the debt? Where did I say I didn't want to pay higher taxes? I said I didn't want people (not me) to pay taxes to support other people. It's not the job of this country to forcibly take time from one american, in order to give it to another american. That's loosing your freedom. It's the single most fundamental right of this country.
And the world is not going to shit. The world has been shit from the beginning of time. You just have never seen it because you have a form of government that protects you. That's going away, so your kids will have the luxury of seeing just how shitty the world can be.
Oh, and saying "let's take more freedoms away because we already have gone down that path" is not how I like to think. How about we fix the ones we have already lost?
