[quote]Uh, dude, ever heard of the Civil War?[/quote]

uhhhhhh, duuude… of course I have heard of the Civil War but what is your point? This war wasn’t about taxes and if you were referring to income taxes, yes there were income taxes but they were only temporary and they did nothing to build the U.S. into the largest economy in the world during that century.

High taxes are most often the causes of revolutions or haven’t you heard of the American and French Revolutions.

Anything I “get” from taxes is mostly outweighed by things that are taken away from me by force. Hardly a bargain.

A stable society is ensured by the morals of the people. If people believe they can legally steal from others, you’ll soon not have a functioning society.
