Back in 9th Grade I told my American History teacher that government employees actually did not pay taxes and he went ballistic.

I told him that since they were paid by the government that any tax that was supposedly paid by them was just the government holding back some of the taxpayer's money. The get their money from the government so paying it back is not really a tax. He was a bit livid yet about three days later, in front of the whole class, he apologized to me and told us that my statement was really correct. If a government employee makes $50,000/year and is billed $10,000 that employee actually is just being paid $40,000/year from real citizen taxpayers.

This was back when liberals would actually listen to another person's views and think about them.
