I wonder who these anti-tax nut jobs think is paying for the policeman they would call if they had a traffic accident, the firefighters they would call if their house was on fire, the ambulance they would call if their wife fell and broke her leg, the Army, Navy, USAF, Coastie and Marine personnel and machinery standing watch for them tonight, the highways they drive on, the traffic lights at the intersection, the Thorazine they should be taking....

Seriously, don't bother arguing with these idiots. They area bunch of spoiled children who want us to pay for their free ride.

Be well.

Look, we all pay taxes. There is a difference between taxes and the income tax. That distinction is not made most of the time. Sales tax, Gasoline tax, Communications tax, Luxury tax, etc, we all pay far enough taxes to run the federal and state governments. What is the problem with questioning authority? I pay plenty enough tax, without having to pay taxes that I am not supposed to.

I just sent the IRS a letter saying that I do not have to pay the income tax, based on the fact that my IMF code is MFR-01, which I found out through the FOIA. Instead of rippin' me a new one, they agreed with me. I pay taxes. I just don't think I should pay a tax that I'm not liable for.

No offense intended, but, except for the Military aspects you mentioned, all of the other ones are State / Local responsibilities. The Federal Government should NOT be collecting taxes for such "services"!
