Do you see taxes as a form of tyranny?  

It's gotten to that point with our poor spending.

Levying a tax to build a road isn't abusing public trust; going to war and reducing taxes off the notion that it would 'pay for itself' is abuse. Building a library isn't abusing public trust; borrowing money (which will eventually have to be repaid with taxes) to build a giant wall that is not expected to have any significant positive economic effect is an abuse. 

Hell, just in Afghanistan, for what we've spent in the last decade we could've given every man, woman and child $5 million and a plane ticket and told them to go somewhere else. It would've been cheaper than the nearly $3 trillion we've spent. Instead, we spend close to $2 million to blow up a mug hut that costs $0 to build and gets rebuilt as soon as the troops roll out. All to benefit a handful of companies and to increase a fake sense of patriotism.
