I can't afford to pay a bodyguard so maybe I should buy a gun. It will also be helpful to institute any laws I decide since my neighbors will have their own laws. I can't afford to pay for city lights so I'll just light my own yard. Can't afford private tutors so I'll just educate my own kid. Can't afford to pave the roads, well, I'll let the other guy figure that one out.
If I want to have police and fire protection I'll pay my taxes. I'll also have streets in good condition, street lights and my kid can get a decent education without that much cost to me. My neighbors and I will be living in an orderly world because we will have judges and legislators, and even a few elected folks in charge to take care of this for me.
So why do the Republicans love Joe the Plumber who
doesn't pay his taxes? Nobody loves shelling out money to a faceless entity, I like the cashiers at Costco better. On the other hand, it's unAmerican to
not pay taxes to keep this incredible country running.
