Oh that's excellent Aure - I have seen that in various forms before but I didn't post it. As I said - I can bitch about taxes with the best of them - but ultimately it's an underpinning of my society that I would not be willing to eliminate.

Imagine if a fire breaks out in your house and you can't afford to have the fire department (now paid for by taxes) come to put it out. Or if your neighbor dumped raw sewage in their backyard because they couldn't afford the hookup to the public sewer. Or if the cops (or the ambulance) wouldn't come to help if you couldn't pay them. I shudder to think what the society would be like.

Why do people never think of these things when they bitch about the "tax and spend" democrats.
