One of the ways to stop the BS is to quit paying for it. Federal Taxes _must_ be gutted and minimized. Stop voting for people writing blank checks to these agencies. Taxes for local police and fire are probably well worth your dollar. Federal taxes do nothing but erode your rights to merely exist.

- kjellsbells 4y agoThe last sentence in your claim is so broad as to be meaningless. Should the defense budget be removed? Highways? Social Security? Reasonable people can agree that taxes are painful, or that the funds are misspent, but blanket claims that taxes==bad do not advance the debate at all. An honest debate about taxes starts with an honest accounting of where the money is really going, and where it is really coming from, neither of which is ever going to happen in countries like the US.
