I truly believe in paying taxes for the betterment of society. When one pays for guards in his/her office why shouldn't s/he pay for the army. When s/he could pay for security why shouldn't s/he pay for police. We cannot and shouldn't run away from paying taxes. And whatever our govt. does we still are better off then other non-democratic countries. Aren't we?
Right? You could not possibly pay for all the services you get by yourself. People are so self focused they ignore how they benefit from the common good.
I'm fully with you on this, as troubling as it is having to pay taxes and hand over a portion of your hard earned money - the other options are considerably less desirable in the long run.
