You know, I'm fine with taxes. I hate paying them, but I can live with it.

My beef is with overly high taxes. 20c per gallon gas tax is ridiculous in a town with a Ford Racing dragster shop, and where 20% of cars still take leaded gas (lots of classics in my area).

I don't want to pay for anyone else's health care or insurance. I want to pay my own way. Thats why America has worked for so long. People were perfectly content on living within their means, and, if they weren't, going back to school, or asking for a promotion, or starting their own business to change those means.

I also don't want to put in for the salaries of teachers with horrible records, that are still on the books because they got tenure.

Let me pay for what I use - because there's no damn way I'm going to pay for your crap and not put up a fuss about it.

I payed 43 percent of my income in taxes during my summer job, and I didn't even make over 1000 dollars.
