To be fair, taxation is useful for everyone and the common good. What can be considered.... wrong is EXTRA taxation. Meaning the governments job should be to operate as leanly as possible by being most efficient. To me that means, highly systems efficiently, low personnel overhead, large reduction in programs supported.

Instead - the name is big and bloated. Expanding budget deficits mean expanded spending, which can never go down.

Couldn't agree more, I would be happy to pay taxes if the government represented me. However under the republic we have, it has fallen extremely short in representing my interest. I vote in every election, write letters to my representatives and attend town halls.
