FreedomNotSafety - Absolutely. When a government decides that you must pay a tax or they confiscate property which you paid for, it's wrong.

Popman - Our assessor doubled property taxes in my county twice (2008 & 2010). When we protested the new tax rates, the first elected bureaucrat in the chain became irate with the bunch of us and basically told us to pound sand because the directive came from the state comptrollers office. Yes, the comptroller didn't win re-election, but we are still stuck with her poor choice. That takes food out of our family's mouths for the benefit of government.
