We won't be if enough of us pick up the military weapons registered as a right expressly for these situations.  When enough of us decide we have been taxed to the limit, and government still demands more, then we stop them with armed force if necessary.

That was one of the two purposes for the Second Amendment anti-Federalist farmers and  tradesmen put in the Bill of Rights they demanded.  The other purpose was to dedicate the young fully trained and quipped militia corps -- Federalist bankers and merchants wanted to protect their businesses from rebellions like Shays had been against Massachusetts banks -- to first defend states against federal (and Federalist) domination.

we all have some things we like and other things we do not like.  what I like, you probably don't, and vice-versa.  SO everyone has something that they wish that they didn't have to pay taxes for.

Instead of seeing that we all have things we are happy to pay for, and leave it at that, we look and notice that there are some things we don't like.  Unfortunately, NOTHING is disliked by everyone.

And that is why the crying about taxes is selfish and self-defeating.  Cutting taxes will mean cutting the things you do like the government doing, because for sure that thing is something that some others are happy to see get cut.

If you don't like the way your taxes are being spent then vote for different representatives.  The taxes we pay happen to be the lowest we've ever paid since we began paying income taxes.  Even if taxes are raised they will still be low compared to previous years.

Stop paying then....and let us know how that works out for you! LOL!

You need to fire your Tax Accountant, or perhaps stop trying to do your taxes yourself, because there is evidently something VERY wrong with the way you are doing them now...the "net tax burden" on the average US taxpayer is at the lowest it has been since 1958; https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=lowest%20tax%20burden%20since%201958

If YOU are paying more, that's your CHOICE!

well there's no way of getting out of paying federal tax, my friend had a lien put on his property and finally they set up a 3 year plan so he could pay the taxes owed, otherwise they threated him with jail time.

For services, such as: sanitation, public education, police, the military, public parks, social security, to maintain the infrastructure, such as roads, bridges.  Just a few things our taxes go to, off the top of my head.

If you don't pay your taxes, a government official will eventually escort you to jail using a gun.

Yes, Liberals are using guns to force people to do things against their will.  Ironic, isn't it?
