My point is, tax, the idea of it, is a good thing.

Tax is taking money by force. Even if tax money were only used to help people, rather than blow them up, it would still not be a "good thing." Charity is a good thing. Forced charity is not.

We wouldnt need to force it if greedy people like yourself werent getting so irate at losing a few pennies. Your rich, way richer than you think, there are near 7 billion people in the world, I bet your in the top 10%, why you getting so mad at people with less money than you taking some in the form of benefits?

Oh, that's rich. "We wouldn't need to steal if you would stop complaining about our stealing from you."  Roll Eyes

I'm not mad at welfare recipients. I am mad at the "politicians, bankers, and conglomerates." Taxation itself, the taking of money involuntarily, is what I am against. What it is used for is largely irrelevant. That it mostly gets used to blow up brown people on the other side of the planet only makes it worse, in my eyes.
