I found some good background info on McCain’s positions here. I think you guys will like to have something to send to your liberal friends and family.

It’sreat reading all these points of view. Most are valid, yet some of these are contradictory depending on ones interpretation of certain words, such as “democracy” etc, and using definitions such as “conservative” and “liberal” as if they mean the same to everyone. The real choice is up to you. I live in Australia, and I don’t believe in working hard for someone else, so I minimise my work and pay as little as possible. A percentage of nothing is nothing.
Work less, live life and be happy.
P.S. I even take the dole when I can and deplete the beast of some of it’s “blood”. Many civilisations have survived without government and didn’t need taxes. The collection of wealth is a target for all criminals, wherever they lurk

“The tax burden we face is a very small price to pay for the privilege of taking responsibility for our own freedom and our own society.”

I call B.S. Taking repsonsibility for our own freedom and our own society is volunteerism. Avoiding responsibility for our own freedom and our own society is writing a check to someone removed from our community both geographically and culturally to fix our local problems and then bitching when it doesn’t get done.

[...] Feed the monster Last week, when I paid my taxes, I had three thoughts jostling for primacy in my brain:Â 1.Â I hate funding pork.Â 2.Â I’m glad I live in a well-functioning country and my tax dollars help.Â 3.Â Even though I’m scrupulous in obeying the law, I hope the IRS doesn’t hassle me.Â Turns out I’m not alone in these thoughts.Â Rick Moran, at Right Wing Nuthouse read an utterly fatuous Matt Stoller post about the joys of paying taxes (and the evil of those conservatives who rail against excessive taxes), and proceeded to savage Stoller’s thinking.Â It makes for very good reading, as well as (yet another) compelling argument for tax reform.

If Mr. Stoller enjoys paying taxes so much, he is welcome to pay mine anytime he wants.

Government is the only organization who provides mandatory services and makes forced capital investments at the expense of successful people. Some government services necessary - national defense, currency & legal system. Some capital investments can only be done by government - national parks, transportation and utility infrastructure.

In my view, the government has assumed a much larger role than is necessary. The private sector can provide most services much more efficiently than the government.
