Good point. But I took the OP's point to be: quite whining about having to pay taxes at all. I certainly object to the use of a lot of our money (unnecessary wars meant to pad the coffers of hyperrich war contracting corps, subsidies to hyperrich oil companies, corn subsidies, wasteful earmarks, ad nauseum). But I'm happy to pay taxes so that we can have roads, general infrastructure, and yes, even PBS. It's just not that bad.
