The GOP tax bill makes a few minor changes to the tax code, but let's be real here. Any tax on earnings is theft. We should abolish the income tax and all taxes on earnings and instead tax consumption.
Ideally, we should pass the fair tax, legislation that would abolish taxes on earnings and replace them with a 23% tax on new goods and services above the poverty level.
Taxation is the price of civilization. You don’t like it, move to Somalia.
If what you assert were true, why do more than 45% of 1040 filers pay no federal income tax whatsoever? Are they somehow living in an alternate civilization dimension?

They pay it. It is used throughout the year to create wealth for the government. Then, at the end of the year, the government gives it back. Usually because their income is too low.

You can pick, and choose what to consume. It is a more voluntary decision. Tax on any income is not voluntary, but mandatory. There is no "choice" in the matter. If I want to pay less taxes in a consumption based system, I can CHOOSE to consume less.
You don't use the roads and bridges your income tax pays for?
lol Before the income tax we had roads, bridges, schools, fought in 9 wars and didn't loose any.
The gas tax and tolls should pay for all the public roads and bridges.
