@CocoasBro, no you actually can't just leave. There is no where that isn't claimed to form a new country, and any country you go to would have to accept you first. At some point reasonable taxation crosses a line to excessive, before crossing a line into theft. We aren't asking for no taxes, just lower it to excessive but not theft.

@Snarfel Burger, it's not theft when you're receiving something in return. Police, fire, ems, roads, libraries, parks, sidewalks, trash pickup, traffic lights, schools, school busses, jeez I could go on. I'm not saying i agree with how it's all spent, but its certainly not theft. You can't expect to get everything from the government for nothing.

@officer fireman, What is your definition of theft? A quick google search said, “Theft is the taking of another person's property or services or scrap money without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.” Sounds pretty damn close to paying taxes. The way they do it now, it IS theft. They don’t just spend your money on things you “disagree with”, they spend it on things that don’t benefit a single American. They give it to their friends, they waste it, they send it oversees. Besides, all the things you mentioned come from local taxes. What about the fed? The federal income tax used to be considered unconstitutional. I don’t “expect to get everything from government”. Government doesn’t NEED most the taxes they levy on us, it needs to shrink! It needs to provide far fewer “services”!

@CocoasBro, there’s a reason why the revolution started with “no taxation without representation”. if the government doesn’t have the ability to provide me an itemized list of where my money is going, then they are no government at all, but a money hungry corporation of a government that has no obligation to appease the people.

Honestly I would settle just for jot having my tips taxed. That's TIP money! Money they gave me for doing a good job! That's money I earned by busting my ass for that little extra. Yet you have to have your hands in that as well big brother..... its thing like that is why I express my 2nd amendment right to the fullest. Got way more than I need and I fookin love it.
