"But using a gun to take money from one citizen and give it to another is not compassion, it is extortion....."
If not assisting those in need (due to Katrina) is your protest than by all means follow where your logic takes you....I refuse to go there....I will never go there....
Today, ten's of thousands of Americans need are help....this argument should be left for another day....Forgive me, but how I feel about taxation, and constitutional dictates, and how our government collects and disperses revenue is not all that paramount at the moment when others are facing life and death at this very moment...

And it will be. We will all happily extort & be extorted from. That doesn't change the fact that it's both morally and legally wrong.
