Taxes penalize producers of wealth. Too much of the money taken from those who earn it is given as a reward to people who neither reap, nor sow.
Punishing workers and rewarding parasites is the worst possible system. Ultimately, the producers drop out of the system to one degree or another, the parasites multiply and consume all of a society's wealth.
Everyone starves.
I think that is a bad thing.
(What's worse, OUR tax system doesn't just take your money, it trys to rule every aspect of your life, penalties for getting married, rewards for buying a car over 5,000 lbs, approved charities, credits for this, that and the other thing, and overlaping penalties for some of the same things).

Ah! So you really aren't against taxes persay? Ok. I do AGREE with your sentiments of 'welfare'. Notice the same effect it has with aid to 3rd worlds?
