Taxation is theft.

I believe taxation is necessary to pay for things like: common infrastructure (roads), defense (military), our representative's pay, post offices and a few other things.

Taxation used to give billions to other countries, fund the pet projects of politicians, fund programs that benefit a special interest, e.g., Planned Parenthood, fund corporate welfare, fund welfare programs for healthy adults - etc, etc.

Taxation is necessary. It's abuse and misuse is criminal!

Perhaps we should go back to simpler times. Shut down the entire government except for what the Constitution actually calls for. Stop giving politicians the opportunity to become millionaires. Stop supporting people who do not want to work. No federal income tax would be necessary because tariffs would support the military quite nicely. Sell off all government land to pay off the debt and what can’t be paid off, declare bankruptcy because there would never be a need to borrow again. If we need money to wage war, tax the states. Oh, and build that wall!
