OPB, you make it sound as if any taxation is not acceptable "I would consider anybody trying to forcibly TAKE money from those who righteously earned it, supposedly for the benefit of someone else who didn't, to be no better than common thieves. Even if it be the gov't! Even if it be the Emperor himself!"
So you dont drive on Freeways, use Hospitals, put out your own forest fires, ride Amtrak? Tax dollars build Freeways and Hospitals etc. all over the country that I'll never use that I paid for and its for someone elses benifit. Where do you draw the line? Not trolling, its a serious question.
