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?

Ah yes, "Taking money from the poor in one country, and giving it to the rich in another"...

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

I take a stand for the extreme postion of no taxes at all. I don't expect that will ever come to pass, but it's where I want to start the negotations!

In my expectations, we will end up with a low tax/fee rate that is purely a means of funding a small limited government.

The revenue system won't be a means of "social engineering", a term, which, as an engineer, I loath. I know of no other field of human endevor where the desired results are at such odds with the actual effects.
