Why do we get so riled up about politics?

Then quit blaming them for something that isn't wrong.

Taxation is theft... at least to those of us who actually work for a living. And claiming the results of another's efforts is slavery. These are very basic tenets of liberty.

Not that I would expect you to understand any of that. You're such a useless piece of shit.

So taxes are morally wrong now? Do you like driving on well-maintained highways? Do you like your mail delivered daily? Your freedoms defended by a well-armed military? Taxes are necessary. They empower the govt and allow it to serve us.

There are appropriate responsibilities of the federal government. They do not include micromanaging the well-being of individuals, as that doesn't serve the net tax payers. Stealing from Peter to pay Paul is theft. Again, not that I'd expect you to understand such basic ethics.
