Oliver Wendell Holmes said "Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society".
If you don't want to pay taxes, fine, but you're not allowed to enjoy any of the products of those taxes. Essentially, you're cut off.
I understand the need for some form of government. Obviously, that government will need some funding. We need that.
I find it irritating and disheartening that people are intrigued by the prospect of not paying taxes.
Not paying taxes=not paying your share.
Instead of trying to leech, how about supporting a smaller government with a strong leaning towards personal freedom? Vote for financially responsible government that doesn't stick it's nose into everyone business, and your taxes will likely fall by 50%.
Unfortunatly, none of the major parties are interested in shrinking goverment size, cutting spending, or being financially responsible. So don't vote for them.
Let's see a libertarian name of the ballot next time around.
Of course,
a) It won't happen
b) Albertans wouldn't vote for them (they'd let the fags get married, heaven forbid.)
c) absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I guess the old saying is true: If voting could actually make a difference, they'd have made it illegal long ago.
