Am I the only person who knows that taxes are a good thing? Where do you think the government gets the money to pay the cops/fire/everything else we need in this modern world. Taxes. Where do schools get their fundng? Taxes. Tax makes the world go round.

 

Taxes are also where a lot of wastefull extravegant spending goes... and policies that are worse then wastefull and actually end up hurting the people who pay for them.  Like Ethanol Subsidies.

 

Most of the taxes we pay go to keeping the country moving in many ways. Know the streets with potholes? What pays to fix them? Etc etc. It is alot more you don't even think about.

I actually know where a lot of my money goes... and a lot of it goes to wasteful spending.  The potholes the police etc...

We vote on those seperatley via city levies.  Cut down the money and the government is forced to use it for responsible things.
