We don't give it to the government, Jorge. They take it from us. If we don't 'give' it to them, THEY CAN ARREST US.

So you can be arrested if that's what you want. You still have the choice.
Most of us gove it willingly. Considering we want roads to drive on, Police forces to protect us, a Military force etc. That's only reasonable.

The same 'choice' one faces when extorted by a mobster - kidnapping.

Nice job of obfuscation! Roads are funded by gasoline taxes, police by local community taxes, and the military accounts for 16% of federal government spending in 2002. I'd rather cut federal taxes by 80% than have my money confiscated and redistributed to people in other countries. It's crap like this that makes it clear there's no principled difference between Republicans and Democrats. Their eagerness to confiscate and redistribute our money as they see fit is merely a matter of degrees.

Choice? The choice of giving our hard earned money to the government, so they can turn around and give it away to people in foreign lands, or not pay our taxes and go to jail? This is a choice?

It's my opinion that as long as either of the two parties cartels are in DC, they will continue to spend and take our money to give to people that have no earned it nor deserve it.

This is not much of a choice is it?

What choice will you be making?

Same old canard my socialist inlaws use.
OK, I'll pay for the rodes, police, military. Now - cut my taxes by 80% and we'll call it even.
