My original reply was to the assertion that taxes are theft, which it patently isn't. I agree a lot of it is going to means to dubious ends and that can only change during elections. > Spending must be transparent. No argument here. > Wars of aggression (already illegal) must stop. > War on drugs, and other likewise stupid expenditures must stop (slow, but getting there) These will only change when politicians start representing the people that voted them into office. Remember that: Only the people that voted them into office. Not those who hold the majority sentiment. The two groups aren't necessarily the same.
