If I could find your brain and cut it out and lay in on a butter knife it would look like a beebee on an eight lane highway...
When I was a kid you could buy a box of candy bars for a buck, but in that time between then and now think of all the people on fixed incomes robbed simply because of inflation which the government could control if it did not find some benefit in stealing from those least able to defend themselves??? It is with money and monatary policy, along with taxes and tax policy that the vast number of people are robbed and have been robbed so that those least able to bear the cost of government and who least benefit are charged with the cost of government... You say tax them a million and be done... If that were possible, and they would consent, then as it stands they would tomorrow make a dollar the equal of a million and raise all prices accordingly, and your millions would soon have no greater value in terms of goods, but their taxes would be paid forever...
If; on the other hand you let people pay the tax demanded on their support of what the taxes were paid to support, you migh find wars and capital punishment ended tomorrow... You might find abortion supported and social programs too... You might find an EPA and a food and drug administration with teeth... You might find about half the laws strickened from the books and the Supreme Court and FBI without funds... I would say sure: I'll pay taxes; but not without the right to help decide the course of government without the parties interference..
