People should take pride in paying their taxes as it is the price we pay for living in a country where we have what we have. How does the military operate? Taxes. How is our infrastructure maintained? Taxes. How do we protect our borders? Taxes.

Whenever anyone talks about how much they work to avoid paying taxes but then bemoans the limited resources of our government and their impact on the ability for them to enforce the laws or protect our citizenry it is a textbook example of irony.

I call BS, it's clear from the post below that you DO NOT want to pay anymore in taxes than you have to, especially if there is NO personal benefit, as you have made clear in the post below in the past.

How do we Protect our children? Taxes
