If taxes are not theft, then why can I not choose to pay at the end of the year? I am forced to have them come from every paycheck. When my wife was a contractor, she was forced to pay in advance each quarter of what she hoped to earn. If she did not, or if she made more than she thought, she would be fined and penalized. Taxes did not exist before the war, and were supposed to be short term. Our government was never supposed to have their hands so deep in our pockets that we had to depend on them to give us scraps back. We need to go back to the good old days where the government issued bonds to get cash, and used trade surplus to fund itself. Let the states have more than 0-5% of income taxes and the fed only get 5%. Let states make the decisions and let the people decide. I bet I would move my family to a state that followed my values and let the 5% fund military, interstate highways, and,well, that is it. The states could handle the rest.
