What a stupid list. If Republicans, you know that top 10% you liberals keep trying to vilify stopped paying for that stuff how long do you think we could fund it? About 30 seconds. Like Thatcher said "Socialism is great until you run out of other peoples money".

Tell ya what Feuer Frei, when my government stops wasting my money i'll stop complaining about the taxes they collect. In the meantime I'll expect the benefits i'm forced to pay for.

August, it's the same here in Australia, and dare i say it in a lot of countries.
Taxes, taxes, taxes.
Tax everything is the motto, and tax more more more.
And as for governments wasting money, or misappropriating funds or misdirecting the money from taxes, it happens here too.
It frustrates the hell out of me that our hard-earned taxes are mis-used or inappropriately directed somewhere else.

Easier said than done.
The problem here 'seems' to be that the majority rules and the majority seems to always vote in the wrong people.
The majority also seem to only be interested in the media's crap that is meant to inform you of a political partie's ideals, goals and moral standpoints.
The majority also is less educated about political parties and has a sheep mentality.
So, you see, it is difficult, for want of a better word.

Time to move to the Western US then (not Pacific Coats states).

Its not that I hate taxes, I hate unjustifiable taxes. I hate paying for illegal immigration with my taxes. I hate paying for unnecessary wars with my taxes.
I hate paying to have the local D.O.T. repave the same road they repaved last year with my taxes. I hate paying for governments corrupt pork barrel projects with my taxes. I hate giving billions in aid to some third, second and even first world countries when my fellow American's are starving, unemployed and turned out on the street with my taxes.

Its all about accountability and our leaders (R) and (D) have almost none anymore.

That is actually a very good list and I agree with most all of it.
If the government only spent money on those things you wouldn't hear much complaining.

It's all the wasteful spending that I or we bitch about.
It's all the freebies that so many get that stick in my craw
As mentioned pork barrel projects, wasted foreign aid etc.
A really stupid war.

Why does Nancy Pelosie need the biggest military jet available to fly to California when she no doubt has a perfectly good broom.
Some things just make no sense

I hate taxes. But I don't mind paying for 40% of them that go for our healthcare, infrastructure, emergency services...
I do mind the 60% that end up in someones pocket, be it a corrupt official, a businesman very close to a corupt official or a incompetent politician

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.

51. Do not run for public office. Politicians are paid with taxpayer dollars.
I thought they were paid with bribes.

+2 I love the liberal hypocrasy when they vote to raise taxes, then they exempt themselves and their cronies from the tax.

The internet one is a riot, whatever...who makes the chips for them, not gov't.
