Are you considering yourself the "neighbors?"

America is drowning from the tyranny of corruption in all it's levels
of government. And from what I can see the rest of the world isn't far
behind.

How can I help my "neighbors" when I can barely take care of myself?
On this basis are you accusing me of selfish greed? 

Do you really believe that if I gave all, 100%, my productivity to the
government, that my neighbors and society would be better off? Would I
love them more and would they love me more if we paid all of our
productivity to the government? Are you saying government = society?

Americans like any other body of politic care less about the policies
that you allude to, in so far as it was putting food on their table.
It was not the lust to kill half the world. Personally the whole I
believe the whole comunist threat, as a military threat, a politiacal
illusion to justify the empowerment and enrichment of the government
and the corporations who influenced them. If they were such evil and
mortal ememies, as the politicians would have us believe, then why the
hell were we sending food to them during the cold war? Ironically we,
above and beyond sending food to our evil mortal enimies, spend
billions of dollars per year to pay farmers (actually multi million
dollar farming corporations) subsidies to not grow food and then spend
bilions on food stamps and welfare benifits because, well, people
can't afford food. The other sad irony of the situation is this: more
prople have been kill in times of peace buy the hands of our
government against it's own people than were killed in Desert Storm.
So, my pacifist prophet, what do you feel would be the appropriate
level of taxation that would fix this? 80,90 or 100%? What level of
taxation would you suppose would fix the "lost respect and caring for
each other?" Compasion that is forced is not compasion, rather it's
coersion. 

Strong governments breed week people and week people breed poor
societies.

Once and for all, taxes are not society and society is not taxes. The
more one pays in taxes does not in and of itself a great soceity make.
I can't think of a society that has been made great by raising it's
taxes, in fact, history has shown that just the opposite is true. If
greater taxes equaled a better society then we would be living in a
F***ing utopia. Didn't I say that before? 

Well they weren't murdered. And they collapsed due to the very reason
that should shut you up in expousing any allusions to the point that
control of individuals productivity is best controled by it's
government and it's version of a better society and compassion. 

You mentioned that there are a few good reasons...

What are the others?

Taxfree should re-read wwatts reply and come up with a better reason
for dismissing my position. Trust me, our highest courts could give a
flying F***. If they did, I would be posting this at all.

Statutes levying taxes should be construed, in case of
doubt, against the government and in favor of the citizen.
