I assume you don't tell the government every April 15th where you work, what your job title is, how much money you make, how much money you have in the bank, your marital status, how many kids you have and their ages, how much you spend on medical insurance, how much your mortgage is, is what you pay or do not pay in alimony, how much you gave to charity, etc....

If you do file a tax return with the IRS, I don't see the point in crying over the Patriot Act, it least it serves a purpose other than stealing your cash so it can be handed over to other people.

I honestly have no idea what your point is. I don't mean that as an insult - I just have no idea what that has to do with the topic at hand. My hunch is that it's a typical "I think my pet topic (i.e. taxes taken from me and given to others) is the only thing anyone should ever complain about" post that we see far too often on FR. If you'd like to dispel that hunch, please elaborate.
