I sat at my kitchen table for almost 30 minutes this morning, signing papers, writing large checks and stuffing envelopes so that I could then go to the post office and stand in line for another half hour or so and mail my tax returns in.
It made me wonder…
Why do I need to pay taxes? I mean, I understand that it is my civic duty to support my government, but isn’t there any veracity to the claim that simple cost-cutting and better management could reduce government spending to the point that taxes could be eliminated?
If I ran my business the way the pentagon does, I’d be broke in no time!
(BTW, this isn’t a joke - I expect a long, thoughtful answer from Libertarian as well as a cynical, snide, wholy entertaining shot from Satan and something belly-achingly funny from Wally. Rather arrogant of me to expect them to answer, isn’t it?)
