As I said, match my quarterly tax payments then tell me we need big government. Until you match me anything you say has no basis.
I don't know why you keep refusing to answer the question. It is really quite simple: do you think ever single dollar you pay is useless? If you make more money than me, what I pay is really irrelevant and may be more of a burden than yours.
Posts like that indicate a level of utter ignorance. Have you seen the trillions that make up our fiscal operating debt and tens of trillions that make up our unfunded liabilities?

Until you pay the same amount of money to the government as me your thoughts about big government mean nothing to me.

Well, neither of us can know what the other pays, so this arguing in circle is pointless. Still though, you could easily answer if you think you should pay nothing to the government, and your refusal to do so speaks volumes.

Can you point out where I say "pay nothing" to government?

I didn't say you did. Rather, I asked if that's what you want. You say you pay too much, but what exactly is too much and what would be a more acceptable amount? Should your total be lower by 25%, 50%, 100%? What specifically about the amount you pay rubs you the wrong way? Isn't it just a testament that you are successful? Somebody you earns a million dollars and pays 25% is still a whole lot better off than somebody you earns $30,000 and pays 10%.

You skirt the line:
