Which seems to indicate that you think the government DESERVES it.
With your attitude, no one would ever complain about taxes, since
the money was never theirs anyway.  Thus, taxes would never decrease,
only increase.  I think this is a dangerous attitude.  Since money
most often translates to power, you indirectly advocate giving more
power to the government, by sticking your head in the sand and saying
"It's not my money anyway.".
