Yep. My brother LOVED tax season until his kids aged out because hed get more back than he paid. Significantly more.
Meanwhile no kids (due to things not working due to military service, not by choice) and ka-ching-ka-ching in the outbound direction. Without being home and looking at a pay stub, I paid over $100k in taxes last year between fed, state and local. Add $20k for property and personal property tax.

Philsophical obligations are not the same as legal obligations. Yes most people feel some sort of philsophical or religious obligation to their fellow man, of course. But that is not the same as stealing from your fellow man in order to give other fellow man their money (taxes).

Except it's not stealing and was made legal by your representatives to fund the government. You may not like it but that doesn't make it theft. This is an arguement about degrees. I think you would pay 1 dollar in federal taxes but you think the amount you pay now is excessive. There's a balance. We collectively as a society decide that balance through participation in a representative government. Nobody is stealing anything. Individuals are trying to gather all the information they can about thier individual circumstances and how that relates to taxes due. The problem with our system is that there is no number. You come up with a number and see if it's acceptable to the agency doing the counting.

What does he get? That our government is the largest most corrupt bloated institution in the history of the world? And the average citizen has to work four months a year just to pay their tax bill for the year so we can send bombs to Ukraine? People talking about roads like any of our money really goes to that. Seriously, you think your income tax is going to road funding? You guys are funny.

No, we should go back to where if you were wealthy, only your house was taken care of if it was on fire.
It's almost like we left this libertarian fairytale behind because it didn't work and only benefited the rich.
