I have found that the people that complain the most about taxation are paying a less than 15% effective tax rate on their personal income at years end after filing and after all deductions. The biggest complainers usually make the least money and in the end sometimes pay no tax at all, some receive refunds significantly larger that their contributions and still complain...WTF! Do you even know what your real tax rate is? Or do you just hear and read these large numbers someone somewhere may be paying and debate on their behalf just for the sake of complaining? Are you the type that thinks paying even one dollar is to much? You'd rather just pass the expense on to the next guy...right? Don't be a free-loader...pay your way and stop whining!
Remember millions of bottom feeders are counting on your tax dollars.

Nope. And I put on ear muffs when others do.

Not that their complaints lack validity, but half of 'em don't even pay enough to complain about.

The typical family of 4 making the average of average household income pays a 5.3% effective Federal tax rate.

"I think I should have the constitutional right to decide not to pay any income tax at all yet still be able to use all amenities payed for by law-abiding taxpayers including but not limited to the freedom the taxpayer funded military provides for me."

Do you think people realize how ignorant this sounds?
