The taxing.....

For thousands of years the government has extracted money from the people.....
Mostly it was for war (homeland security)
Mostly it was used for other things (limos Etc...)
Let me tell you a story that you have heard over and over
"Our plow trucks are old, our roads suck (it's the weather) we don't have salt. traffic is bad, the warf flooded, the tunnel is clogged..
You sit there every day spending your money and let them tell you it's because you don't pay enough.....
Good luck with that
