Since I only mention part of my beleifs towards taxes in the homosexuality thread, I thought I would express my beleifs on the other facets, and let people debate about it.
I don't like the government forcing me to care about certain things. I don't like having to pay taxes if they go toward medicine, especially if they are medical conditions brought on by themselves, or the medical conditions of people who don't pay their taxes in the first place (illegal aliens, for one). This is the government forcing me to care about things that I may or may not care about. Whether I care or not is not the government's business. It is my own business, so I should be able to spend my money on what I care about.
Their are certain taxes that I do think are important, though. Those are the ones that have to do with the way this country runs. I like paying taxes for my roads, especially if they are in the form of a road too, because at least that only taxes the people who use the roads. I like paying taxes for sewage, because it would suck if we didn't have sewers and stuff. The same goes for firefighters, police, military, and the like. Schools I like paying taxes on, because I know that if nobody were educated this country would come to a halt.
I don't know if I missed anything (but I probably did) but what are everyone else's views on taxes?
