While I agree that taxes are a necessary part of any working government, I am FAR more concerned with how those taxes are spent. I heard recently that the U.S. cancelled a contract with Lockheed to build a dozen subs, but still paid them the ~$250M. Um...did I miss something? And of course our taxes have gone up, taxes on corporations have dropped tremendously in the last fifty years--someone must pick up the slack. <sigh> Chris (Putting his nose where, I'm sure, it isn't wanted)
