You're more of the mindset that money ultimately comes from the people, and is taken by the government to be used for various goods. A view I once held.

Why are taxes so important to you? You probably don't receive social welfare benefits and sit around lounging all day, allowing the working-class to fund your life style. You seem like a reasonable, educated person. We wouldn't need so many of those taxes you speak of if we didn't have so many programs to discourage people from looking for work, and worse, discourage businesses from investing.
Redistribution of wealth is morally abhorrent and the worst thing the government's done to us in the last 100 years is implement a central bank to destroy our money, and place an income tax on us, which fundamentally says: "You don't own your money, we just let you keep some of it. We can spend it more wisely than you can. You're not smart enough to take care of yourself and your family, so we're going to do it for you, against your will."
