I asked a retired man the other week when we were talking about all the crap going on in the world:
While you were growing up, working, raising a family did taxation force you to make choices, say 'no' to yourself, friends or family because there simply wasn't enough $ for everything you required?
Of course the answer was sure..
And the same can go for all your peer group, all your friends. The same with them, having to limit themselves/families/children because the gov. is taking "their cut first"...and the same with their Son's and Daughters....
Now he gets a bit defensive, and claims "Sure, but how else does a government and country run...."
so then I point out that all that suffering, all those "no's", all the time he or his wife and/or kids had to do without because of the taxes the government would take, combined with all the same from his entire peer group....
...Isn't even a rounding error in what the gov./country just freely hands over separately to either Israel, or Ukraine, or China, or any host of Country's... So if they could do that, they didn't need those taxes did they and all that suffering and pain was for .... ?
