Quote:But just to make things clear; I agree 100% that in many cases taxes are spend in a stupid way. But my ideas are to change this through politics instead of just quite paying taxes.What do you do when the politicians only bicker? Perhaps it is a smoke screen to prevent *real* change?
The free market makes mistakes in spending as well, but at least the entity making the mistake suffers for their mistakes. When the government makes mistakes, only the people suffer and the government then over reacts spending even more of our money. Every function employed by the government is a free market enterprise denied. Granted, not every function should be private.
The government cannot create wealth, so every dollar they spend was taken from someone else who earned it. We can try to be understanding when the government takes our money for things which benefit us all, although as I said before, they would be more fair if the highest burden was local and the least burden was Federal.
