Tax day thoughts

This so-called "tax day" only matters more than other days (as far as theft-by-government is concerned) if you forget that government steals 87% of the production of the people it claims as its own.  You are stolen from under the guise of "taxes, fees, licenses, permits, and fines" every day of the year, not just on the day you are told to write them one of the checks.

Why do people brag about paying "their" taxes?  Why is it good to cooperate with your mugger if he calls himself a "tax collector"?  Why defend a thief if he is employed by the government?

Is there a TEA Party near you?  Lend them your support, and maybe remind them of the truth of the matter.  All taxation, even for those things you like, and advocated by those politicians you may support, is THEFT.
